The little black boat on the plotter is us winding our way up the James River

Gorgeous views along the river

Cypress trees growing in the water in shallow areas

Our second leg on our trip up the James River to Richmond, VA. was more gorgeous than the first. The river winds through beautiful cypress tree lined shores with eagles and osprey constantly flying over head. As you wind up the river you also wind your way through tons of history and many plantations that are still owned by the same families since they were built in the 1700's. We also passed the area where the last battle was fought in the Civil War.
