Where in the World is Woody?

I know - I haven't posted anything in a long time. I did drive out to Mason Neck today, but the wind blowing steady across the water was picking up too much of a chill to convince myself to get on the water. The recent death of experienced kayaker Mitch Magruda on the Potomac is more than enough to drive home the dangers of cold water kayaking.

A Bald Eagle did let me snap his picture while out at Mason Neck. I put the new Hullavator through it's paces - the XT version is hands down more solid than the original version. If you have the first version, take it back to your dealer for a replacement. You can see what has changed here.

The next Big Thing (tm) that I have planned is the annual trek to Assateague Island with my daughter for Spring Break in April. Two weeks later it is time for CPA's SK102 skills workshop and the season will be off and running!

I think Mason Neck is getting a bit old for me, so I hope to do a little more traveling around this season. I'd like to spend more time on the Rappahannock and possibly the lower Potomac.

A few trips I didn't write about, but took a few pictures:
