Looking at the street view I think I see Waders house. Plenty of room to add bedrooms out or up

Hey Wader, on another thread you mentioned there was no way you would kayak due to the US Navy and other large ships plying the Bay. But what about amongst all those islands just off the EASTERN shore (ocean side) of the eastern shore ?

The Eastern shore is a kayakers paradise ..... Maybe Wader was talking about down by the bridge tunnel area. [Link]('https://kayakingdelmarva.com/category/virginia-seaside-water-trail/') to the site I got the picture from

among the Barrier Islands would be a really nice place to kayak if one where into kayaking....
Was taking something of a poetic license with the Bay side - as John said - kayaker's dream - I'm just not into kayaking having done 10 years in the Nissequogue River in a canoe.
Although - my brother did get me thinking about it again after I sold the boat. They actually have a winery tour along the Bay involving kayaks. Leaves from Onancock Creek & pulls in at the local winery(s). Doesn't sound real safe to me - but what the hey. You only live once.

Wader's been AWOL for a couple of days. Has anyone heard from him?
actually a day there Joe...
I was visiting friends on the Jersey shore yesterday & stayed away from the puter. Today was driving home through snow storms.

My canoe is a 12 footer but with a 40 inch beam so stability was never an issue. Haven't used it in a decade and unlike my always garaged kayaks its relegated to under the deck. I haven't flipped yet in a yak and feel they are a bit safer than canoes. I am also not a spring chicken, going on 68.

Screw the paddling safety, what sounds dangerous to me is Eastern Shore Wine. Remember that Thomas Jefferson's wine experimentation ended in failure.
Since then some upscale wineries have sprung up on the hilly terrain with good drainage near Skyline Drive that make respectable, award wining wines because they can mimic the conditions of Bordeaux and Burgundy. However, the flat marshes of the Eastern Shore does not bode well for grape cultivation. That being said, I understand the Eastern Shore's premier winery, Chateau Roadkill Muskrat, boasts a Chardonnay with fine emetic properties...

canoe was safe in the Nissy - I had pontoons on it that overhung the sides by 3 feet on each side - couldn't tip it - was able to get up & walk back & forth
