North Landing River – Old Pungo Ferry Road, 20050226
Today, I had no specific agenda except to take my new Aquabound Manta Ray carbon paddle out for a trial run. I was originally planning on doing an excursion on Shipp’s bay, but I really didn’t feel like trudging across 20 feet of mudflat to get to the water, so I opted for a location…

Smiths Creek 20041231
Wow! Going through the details on this my first documented trip, the camera I used was a Sony DSC-73 camera with 4 Mega Pixels, that I am pretty sure I still have somewhere. The images, for some reason, would not let me embed the GPS data. Below are my original comments. New Year’s Eve trip…
