Wingina
Nelson County, Virginia
As the sun headed down Monday evening, the Batteaux headed in at Wingina Landing. Folks participating in the 24th Annual James River Batteau Festival pulled in yesterday to rest before heading on to Howardsville today. We’ve been telling you about Captain Brian Roberts of Nelson County and his newly crafted boat, Rockfish Runner. His print story comes out Thursday in our July issue of Nelson County Life Magazine.
The festival runs until Saturday June 27th with the final docking at Maiden’s Landing around 4 PM after leaving Cartersville earlier in the day.
The folks over at batteau.org have set up a neat daily blog too if you want to follow them on their trip down The James. Click here.
Hey Thanks for the nice write-up and photos of the batteau festival. I set up the batteau blog page and my goal is to try and get as many batteau crews as possible to tell stories and submit photos from along the batteau trip. This isn’t easy, but hopefully the public will have some interesting blog postings in the future. Keep up the good work and feel free to link to the batteau.org site anytime.
