400 Years Later....


Video team from RYC was at the ready to record the re-enactment of Captain John Smith's exploration of the Rappahannock River. These volunteers who on calm days rowed the shallop must have had blisters on their palms as they manfully... yes and womanly... put their backs into the sculling of the shallop up the Rappahannock River. Well.. the welcome in the Tappahannock area was a stunning - a shower of arrows welcomed our conquering heroes... the biggest problem the re-enactment crew faced was how the rest of the crew would tastefully turn away from the bows as each member of the crew - guy or gal - made use of the open-air bow restroom.
