Well, I am gearing up to head south again!  The weather is warming up, which means the river is coming alive again after the long winter.  RCS will be hosting it's annual Spring Sojourn next Saturday, April 25, where the community will join together to paddle the Rivanna Reservoir.  I'm excited to get back to the river and be able to help RCS with this major event of the year for them.  I'm also nervously(?) excited for my first time kayaking on a river!! I've been in plenty of boats/kayaks/canoes before on lakes, even on a sailboat on the Charles River in Boston, but never like this: in a single person kayak, on a moving river.  Luckily the Rivanna doesn't seem to be a terribly rough river to navigate, as it's a bit smaller than it's larger tributaries, such as the James River.  I should make it through the experience safe and sound... but I'll keep you posted and take pictures!  My baggies and quick-drying fabrics will definitely come in handy this trip. :)

See you in beautiful, blooming Charlottesville, Virginia in just a couple of days!
