Firsthand coverage from Mike Yowaiski, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-virginia.html.

Good Job Mikey and Ted on the photos and write up!!!

Matt,

Very nice article. I missed a great event and will be there next year for sure so my offer still stands to ride in the AT!

Thank you.

Pat,

I am with you for sure in your boat next year. The only water I've been on in Virginia is Smith Mountain Lake, which is stunning. I imagine Jammin' on the James is a little less "scenic," but I doubt there is another run with more historically significant card stops.

Or a better dock party. All work and no play ...

Jamestown Island is obviously a significant part of history and every 4th grader in the region spends a day touring the site.......just 20 miles down river is what was one of the largest dormant naval reserve fleets in the US. It's now down to about 40-50 ships (from 120-130) but still impressive. Another 20-30 miles down river is Norfolk and the navy's most advanced ships are in port, I've seen as many as 4 aircraft carriers at once along with many other ships at dock (Norfolk IS the largest naval base in the world!!!)......the scenery is different, but just as majestic!!!!

Great Job Mike, good seeing you and Ted the otherday, Hope to see ya at the Michigan Races
