Paddling James River/Springfield Lake

I took the wife and kid down to the Hwy 65 access on the James River and Springfield Lake, yesterday.

We paddled a couple of hours down to the boathouse area and back. It was the first time for either of them to ride in one of my homebuilt boats and Gwen's first time in a boat this small.

The kiddo did great, alternating between her SpongeBob fishing pole and our second paddle that I tethered to the hull for easy recovery.
