Back on the River

It was likely the nicest of the weekdays today: high 80s and the river just about 3.0. We ran into two kayaking classes, a raft trip and a couple SUP boaters. Crowded for a weekday :)

Today, I opted for my canoe — I have an open canoe clinic later this month and felt the need to get back in my canoe before that.

Sarah opted for her packraft.

We both had a lot of fun.

Sarah even got her packraft into both the Maryland chute hydraulic and the one on the Virginia side.

My trusty Joby Gorillapod tripod broke a leg last time out. So I picked up a less expensive option from Amazon to replace it. It’s a little bit taller and Sarah noted it’s about the size of a small selfie-stick. So we have a new view on our river trips.

I think the jury is out on which is “better;” I wonder if this post will pick up any votes one way or the other…
