Kayaking Sturgeon Creek

There is nothing better than spending time on the water.

During our vacation this year, my mother and I rented a couple of kayaks from Lazy Days Kayak Rentals.

(We have rented from her several times and highly recommend using her).

Mom and the Brat Child who looked very much like an
Egyptian Prince being rowed down the Nile.
He's 'Pecial dontchaknow.

Midge and her friend Lizard.
I was secretly hoping one of them would fall in so I could get the shot.

We kayaked clear out to the Rivah (that would be the Rappahannock for those of you who don't know). 

Or the Rappahannatank according to the Brat Child.

It could also be the Piankahannock, I don't remember.

There is a large sandbar that stretches out into the river.

It makes for a great place to swim.



When I asked them to pose, the Brat Child said "Everyone say Hot Girls!"
I'm slightly concerned about kindergarten.



Kayaking Trip

Today, I'm too tired to say much about anything.  So, enjoy some shots I took on my last kayaking trip around Sturgeon Creek.  Photos were taken with the Brat Child's crappy camera, so I apologize now for the quality.

Both of these shots were take looking out at the Rappahannock River. 

This sandbar more or less marks the boundary between the creek and river.

This bulkhead has been here all my life and has recently fallen apart enough to allow for what used to be the normal flow of water.  On the other side of the bulkhead is the Rappahannock.  From what I can remember, some idiot woman thought it would be nice to build a bulkhead so she could make a beach.  What she did was force the channel to change and reduced the flow of water.  There were also concerns about unnatural currents forming.  I always hoped there would be a whirlpool in the middle of the creek.  How cool would that be?!

Some roads lead to water.  I'm pretty sure all my roads do.
