Time on the water is always well spent…
And today was no different. The weather was perfect–not too hot with the hint of fall in the breeze. I dropped the kids at school, which is how I have to start my day. I thrive on the chaos that leads to them making it through the doors on time ready to seize the day. Once they were delivered safely, I headed home to hook up to the boat–a task that has gotten much faster since my first attempt. Shortly after, my client (she was my guinea pig in the beginning), hairdresser and friend arrived bearing a jar of delicious muscadine jam that she made herself.
We loaded up and headed to the boat ramp. We were graced by the presence of Capt. Rouse, who is hands down the best shuttle driver going above and beyond with some of the photo and video from our day. We enjoyed a little Avett Brothers and Caamp as we made our way to the river. I backed us in like a champ with a lot less s curve along the way. We shoved in and the peacefulness and stress relief was immediate. Carving out this time is essential. We both have such busy schedules with many plates to keep spinning. On the water is a perfect time to decompress.
Not too far into the float, Kasey hooked into her first trout of the day. She really needed little direction with her cast and is now mending her line like a pro. She continued to light them up for the rest of the day, netting quite a few. We lost count, which is always a good sign.
Enjoy this little photo journal from our adventure!

Pic 1: Kasey and her newest family member, Stella! When she is not on the water, you can usually find her in her shop on Main Street. I’m in love with how she decorated and furnished this amazing space!
Pic 2: Jamie insisted that we pose with the muscadine jam.
Pic 3: The drive with the always entertaining backseat driver.
Pic 4: In the zone.
Pic 5: Look at that cast!
