Hey guys! It’s been a while since Ive been active so forgive me. I live close to Broad river which joins into the Savannah river on the other side of my county. A few years ago, they put in an access point to kayak the Broad river 2 miles from me. While I have kayaked on the river a few times, it was always through a company that provided everything. They would drive you up river, and you would paddle 5 miles down to where you began. This would be the first time I have been on this section of the river, and I would be by myself. This distance was 12 miles to the nearest takeout point and it states it should take about 8 hours to get there. Spur of the moment my wife said she would drop me off and pick me up if that’s what I wanted to do. I packed a few snack, several beverages, a pack with some essentials, the kayak and it’s related equipment and down the river I went around 1:00pm. I went through a bit of wind and some rain during my trip but nothing too serious. My main concern was getting to the takeout point before it got too dark so I had to paddle fast. I am proud to say that I was able to do the whole trip in half the time at 4 hours. And I just happened to pick up as the takeout point had absolutely no cell service and I saw my wife drive by on the bridge and waved her down as soon as I landed. Couldn’t have asked for better timing. On the trip I didn’t see or hear a single person. The only company I had besides myself, was the occasional bird and the one gar I saw. I didn’t take too many pictures as I was afraid I would drop my phone and not be able to find it.
