Warm again

A bit over 80 degrees and river running 3.86 on a weekday!

Perfect time to be out. The water is still cold so I stayed pretty conservative.

But crossing the nice wave in the Virginia Chute was a lot of fun, even when it broke in my cockpit and I took on a fair amount of water. It was not enough to make it impossible to control the boat (and I stayed upright).

So it was fun. But I was not lured into the whole in the center chute. That would be a long cold swim no matter how tempting it looks. Also a lot of work to get back up to that spot.

I was warm even in a boat full of water with polypro and no wind/water breaker over that.

I saw one CCA trip coming off the river as I was heading out. And one guy with a SUP getting up to the Virginia Chute as I was heading back. So I had Anglers Inn Maryland, Center and Virginia all to myself.
