This past Sunday, January 13th, the temperature rang in at 73 degrees. My wife had to work a 12 hour shift at the hospital, which left me and my daughter on our own. I always try to make daddy daycare an adventure. Why? Why not? The alternative is sitting around the house, both of us going crazy. So, I decided we would head to Holliday Lake State Park and take a Jackson Journey 14 kayak from our great selection of used boats.
I'm going to run through some of the exciting boat arrivals we've seen at Appomattox River Company in the last few months. The warehouse is filling up fast. Check out the sweet rides.
So I asked some of the ARC-Farmville family to pick good last-minute Christmas gifts for those of you who love to procrastinate.....
On Saturday morning I awoke in Farmville around 6 am, threw some coffee down my gullet, grabbed my camera and headed to Hampton. The inaugural, Appomattox River Company, Rigging Contest and Chili Cook Off was set to go down at the Tidewater store. I had been tasked with documenting this burgeoning event. It felt like a great opportunity to learn about a faction of kayaking that I have a deep interest in, but very little knowledge. If you have been following this blog, you know that my introduction to kayaking came through whitewater and while I have begun branching out more and more, I have yet to fish from a kayak. After attending this event, it will not be long now! I got a fishing license the next day, something I haven't done in many years.
Slayer!! check out the Native Watercraft Slayer as Vince from Appomattox River Company highlights some of the great features. Wait for the Rock n Roll outtakes at the end..
