Lynnhaven to Mockhorn Island Overnight Camp Trip


A couple of weeksago we had Hurricane Irene pass through the Virginia Beach area. I had already planned a overnight Watertribe NCC training camping trip for the following weekend. The below is a video (Part 1) of the adventure.


I left from the Lynnhaven inlet in Virginia Beach, crossed the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and up the Virginia Channel to Mockhorn Island. The effects of the Hurricane were everywhere. The tide level was highest that I have ever seen on the Eastern Shore. The cloud colors were spectacular in the morning light. The residual waves were large but long.

I will post the second part of the Video once I have the time to produce it...
