i have been kayaking on the delaware river for some time. we load out on
the New Jersey side, and always stay on the Jersey side. but Philly has
been calling us for a while, and we have been tempted to cross the shipping
channel and travel up the Schuylkill river into Philadelphia
the mouth of the schuylkill (in the picture above) is between the end of
the tree line and the shipyard (to the right) and passes under the bridge
(I-95).
well, today we finally bit the bullet and did it. We crossed over into
Pennsylvania without paying a bridge toll. crossing the shipping channel
was a little risky, but you can see the ships coming from a considerable
distance.
I-95... from the bottom
we got to see some things that most folks never see up close
we had to maneuver around some tug traffic. there are a lot of tugboats
milling about on the schuylkill
Don't be that way.......
It's not a big deal if you all just 'happen' to go
kayaking at the same time.
Every single time.
All the time.
Really.
It's cool!
We won't tell.....
