Night 6 recap and Plan for Day 7:
Some serious rain and thunderstorms came through during the wee hours this morning but they have passed and weather looks good for paddling.
I was lucky to be safe and dry during the night thanks to the hospitality of Charlotte Webb Chandler and her husband John. It was great catching up with Charlotte and meeting John. This morning John and I went over nautical charts as well as current and tide considerations for my trip today. I really appreciated his help.
Richard McMillan who lives in the area picked me up for a shopping run and dinner last night. Great catching up after 30 years or so! Come to Arlington sometime so I can buy you a meal!
Paddling plan today is to Continue into the Elizabeth River for 15 miles to reach Deep Creek Lock park in the City of Chesapeake. The folks at the Chesapeake Dept. of Parks, Rec, and Tourism have been great to work with. I corresponded with them in recent weeks and they took the time to understand what I was trying to do and help out. I worked with them to apply for and receive a special permit to camp in Deep Creek Lock Park tonight. Big thanks to Michael Barber and Kevin Kaul!
