For my friend Jeremy's birthday he decided a float on the James River would be best. He works as a chef in Charlottesville, VA and his schedule allowed him the chance to celebrate on the actual date - which turned out to be a Wednesday. Since the rest of us have nine-to-five's, finding participants was a challenge and the group for this outing ended up being Jeremy, his father, and myself.
Now that I've sold the Jeep, I have no way of carting my canoe, so Jeremy's father Stan transported the boat for me while I rode the motorcycle to Buchanan, VA. I took the direct [but slower] route of 360/460 while Stan took the highway to scoop Jeremy. Our timing was perfect - arriving at the take-out at nearly exactly the same time. I left my motorcycle there and we drove to the put-in together.
The fish weren't biting that day, but that didn't keep Jeremy and Stan from trying.
The float lasted about four hours, passing under I-81 near the terminus and giving us an auditory cue to press on.
When we reached the Buchanan Boat Ramp I rode my motorcycle to retrieve the truck. Once loaded, Stan delivered me to the moto and we each set off independently for home.
