New Point Comfort Lighthouse Kayak trip Chesapeake Bay Virginia
A solo trip on a fairly calm day out to New Point Comfort Light house. One of my favorite places to paddle and offers many things to see, nice beach's, wildlife and a bit of a challenge with skill building on smaller waves. Be cautious though, this area can really come to life with high winds. Always check the forecast, think of it as always wearing your life vest. Would suggest going with a group if inexperienced. Hope you enjoy.

Historic Fort Monroe
This Army's THE BIG PICTURE (1974-1984) documentary episode covers activities at historic Fort Monroe, Virginia, Headquarters, Continental Army Command. Here is an Army post which almost breathes tradition and in recent years has become an attraction for tourists from all over the country.
MSgt. Stuart Queen, the series' host-narrator, takes his audience into the old walled fort, the only one of its kind in this country surrounded by a moat. It was in one of the small rooms of the fort that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was imprisoned, today known as the Casemate Museum.
A standout job in photography has been accomplished in filming the interior of the lovely Chapel of the Centurion which serves as a post chapel. Hanging from the walls of the chancel and nave are the flags and colors of old regiments of the United States Army. The stained glass windows of the Chapel are dedicated to the military men who have served at Fort Monroe. On such a window is inscribed, He died so the kids next door may live.
Additional coverage is given to activities of test boards in six different locales of the U.S. and the arctic test branch at Fort Greely, Alaska. Although old in history, Fort Monroe, home of the Continental Army Command, still plays a prominent and vital role in the national security of the United States.

New Point RV Aug 22 2015
Members of the Blackbeard's Crew of Hampton had a truly grand old time invading the New Point RV Resort in Mathews County Virginia. Having an opportunity to fire cannons and to have scalawag schools on a sandy beach was a challenge but a terrific experience. It reminded me of the raid from many years ago with a good friend and co-conspirator in piratical activity. So I am dedicating this video in his memory. Capt. Pernell Taylor these cannon booms and sandy beach is for you.
