The Chesapeake Bay Foundations 13th annual paddle for the bay race was today, and even though i didn’t race in it, I did make it down for the start. There were about 25 solo racers in various craft, as well as 3, 6 man out riggers. I couldn’t hang around for the finish, but if I find the results I’ll post them here….

I recently had the chance to take an evening stroll along the Hague in Norfolk. I had to be a little creative, because I was losing light really fast, and I had no tripod, so you’ll notice the foreground in a few.
As I understand it, just the Western branch is the Hague, but the Eastern branch is technically Smith Creek
