The local "river rats" met for an "unofficial" New Year's Day gathering to paddle downstream from the I-95 bridge to the Falmouth Bridge. Despite outdoor temps at freezing, seven boaters dressed in dry suits and had "fun" taking their time manuevering around in rapids. We had a great day on the Rappahannock in spite of the cold.

New Year's on the Rappahannock 2009

Wow, I know a movie star!!! 
Good to see that you got out on New Year's Gretchen. I wondered whether you'd be coming to the Chilly Chili on the James, but now I know where you were.
I guess we'll have to make sure MichaelME has a video camera next year so that we can make the news here in Richmond!

Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke
