The National Park Service has been removing invasive bamboo from the shoreline of historic Yorktown. Good luck with that.
In a related note, I asked York County about the moorings off Yorktown. One is sinking (at right) and another is listing badly (below). Capt. James Scruggs, dockmaster at nearby Riverwalk Landing, replied:
“We are aware of the moorings that are listing and sinking. The plan is still to pull them all out, and we will be installing new ones. Once the company finishes a job upriver, they will load the new ones and head down here to install them and take the old ones out. We don’t have a specific date, but it should be happening this year.”
Pathology Sailing
A Richmond area woman took her 13-year-old son sailing on Spring Break for an extended lesson. The day was warm and breezy, more like June than April.
Yasmin Lutterbie is a pathologist working at the VA Medical Center in Richmond. “I look at cancer slides all day. Sometimes as many as 50 cases a day, and some of the cases required up to 100 slides for complicated cancers.
“Our VA is noted for its cancer research and treatment. A patient from your Hampton VA might be sent to us for diagnosis and then take his treatment in Hampton. VA hospitals do great work, and it’s all in one place: surgery, psychiatric, internal medicine, audiology, pharmacy and so on.”
Jasmin and Ryan helmed the boat in 15-20 mph winds that had us heeling to 20 degrees. We transited the Coleman Bridge upriver and then learned how to tack back by turning almost a dozen times. They loved it. I later sent them the link to take lessons at Sail Time in Virginia Beach.
Women enjoy sailing today more than ever, and particularly a romantic cruise. Couples get to enjoy a romantic getaway as they sit up on the bow for privacy, and Let’s Go Sail provides professional photos for free. First-time or skilled mariners are welcome to sail a modern-32-foot sailboat in a unique setting of wildlife and Fall foliage or Spring bloom. It makes for an extraordinary anniversary idea.
