    Brownies
    Tea 

    The number of TikTok references: 2

    Havoc:  on TikTok if you put a wooden spoon on the pot it won’t boil over. 

    Havoc: on TikTok if you throw pasta on the wall and it sticks it’s done. 

    Oyster:  sigh

    No oyster stew on the menu tonight. Maybe next time.  Always great to share this time with Havoc.  We will not be sharing any of the TikTok’s.



  • House Party, the day after

  • Mission Accomplished

    Mission Accomplished

    3 paddlers met on the James River to do a bit of Recon for the upcoming First Watch River Workout.

    Warmarama:
    Parking Lot right next to the brand new Kayak launch was closed. No worries for the men of F3. Park on the side street, Unload Kayaks and coolers and Farmer Carry down the trail, down the steps, down the hill and to the launch site. This should be fun at 5:00am was noted.

    The Thang:
    Paddle up river from the Huguenot Bridge to the Willy Bridge, make note for stops along the way. Sand bar was still under water but should make an appearance in time for Wed. Will be a good spot for Scorpion Kicks.

    Made it to the Willy Bridge and paddled around the island and then a Mosey back down river to the Flag. Kubota did an audible and cancelled our Triple Check back to Flag and carried his own Kayak. Honeydo and YHC Partner Carried all the way.

    The Eagles are looking forward to our return on Wednesday at 5:00am.
    Join us on Wednesday. Reach out to Kubota if you need a Kayak, he may have extras.

    YHC had several things planned but the beast sometimes will suck up all the time. A stacking beast punches the sad clown in the face every single time. I needed it, you needed it. YHC was spent and drenched. The Mumblechatter was great today, Pipe Smoking, Michelle Obama, and what CSAUP can the 2 Faceplants compete for to determine who keeps their name. I vote Beer Mile!

    Bodo’s took us out!!
