I intended to do one of my usual paddles today, but I was feeling pretty good when I hit the daymark at mile 608 and I kept going. I passed Leapers Bluff and went into a south shore cove that is fed by Cloyd Creek. I’ve taken the bowrider up there a few times but always stopped at the Unitia Road bridge. Clearance was low and I didn’t want to risk banging up the boat going through.
But in the kayak I pressed ahead amid moonlight-lit fog, paddling past trees spun with spider webs. I went as far as I could before downed limbs forced me to turn and head back.
Overall, a great paddle that really helped clear the cobwebs out of my head. I figure I managed about 9 miles this morning.
