Mockhorn Island / Chesapeake Bay Crossing

I went on my first over-night kayak camping trip courtesy of DogsLife organizing a little excursion across the Chesapeake Bay to camp on desolate Mockhorn Island. The group consisted of one Triak, three Hobie Adventure Islands, and one Prindle 18. We had high hopes for good wind this early in June but were not so lucky. The wind died on us and we were forced to paddle/peddle much of the way. At least the Prindle with its big sail was able to capture a bit more wind and didn’t have to paddle quite so much. There was one particular slog through a canal where we had to battle not only head winds but current as well. I don’t have video of that section but if I did, it would look like a still image since I was moving so slow.

The following video captures the trip as seen from my Triak wing.
