Day two on the Chickahominy adventure cruise possibilities?

Okay folks, we need to put out heads together and come up with possible places to go on the river of day two on the Chickahominy. Our thoughts are that we go someplace of interest and then eventually raft up to enjoy the day before heading back to Rivers Rest Marina for an afternoon at the pool and maybe a cookout.
Looking for everyone to pipe up about what may be of interest for the day...
Best regards,
Joan & Steve

I know Steve, if the weather is hot we can all go inside your newly air conditioned cabin. Might be a tight fit though, getting roughly 12 folks inside. Kind of like those old school games of how many folks can be squeezed into a Volkswagen or phone both. Looks like a nice install job but no doubt one that caused some nervousness.

Both marinas sound great to us and have very good reviews in Active Captain. Mary especially likes the pool access. As for the question regarding cruise possibilities, we looked through our copy of the Waterway Guide as it pertains to the James, and also at Active Captain, but lacking any local knowledge we didn't come up with any recommendations. We'll defer to the group and are simply looking forward to cruising this beautiful and historic area. Thanks for your work on this!

Henricus is another 45 mi. up the river from River's Rest:

Jamestown is about 25 mi. (into the marina) back down the river:

We could probably arrange ground transport for anyone interested in going to Williamsburg/Jamestown from River's Rest.

FREEDOM,
Yes, we could make our own clown skit if we could fit all of the traveling Brats in the cabin, when the WX turns bad. Mr. Bean would be proud of our accomplishments...

Steve: As a belated reply to your June 6 request for suggestions for a place to raft up, you might want to consider Morris Creek, which is the first creek on the port side after the Rt 5 bridge at the entrance to the Chickahominy. If you know how to get in, which I do, you can enter even at low tide, and go upstream past the boat ramp where there are several well protected sites for a raft.

If the preference is to raft upriver from the marinas, there are lots of places which we could use, most off to the side of the main channel.

Looking forward to the trip.

David

Steve:

Just spoke with Rivers Rest to confirm slip rates ($2/ft), and the fellow with whom I spoke said that they had our reservations for last weekend. Think they're off by a month. I told him the plans are for the nights of JULY 12 and 13, but you might want to followup to be sure they're set, and that the restaurant has the right info.

For whatever it's worth, they also quoted a $10 launch fee, and no charge for parking if I splashed a day early, and then stayed for two nights. So, probably makes sense for me to launch there, spend a night at anchor on either the Chickahominy or a James River creek, and then meet up with the group as discussed earlier, spending the Sat and Sun nights at Rivers Rest.

David,
Thanks for pointing out the issue with River Rest. I have called Alton and reconfirmed the planned mooring dates again. I'm not sure why Alton logged the incorrect dates, as I was very specific with him, as well as with the restaurant.

Steve, I would Ike to inquire about dock space as well. Mary and I hope to pull into Portsmouth on Thursday, launching at the park. If space allows we would like to use your dock Thursday night, and also store our SUV and trailer at your property like we did during the Loop cruise - if that is possible.

If you do have room, Delfin would also like to tie up at your dock. We will be there for the captains meeting. Smile Looking forward to the cruise. : Thumbs Up Delfin

We have dock space for both Munchkin and Freedom, and others, for Thursday night. No need to bring anything for Thursday's dinner. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
