He He was helpful in answering questions as well. I will say that is way colder than you can imagine on the VERY windy water, and my 3 layers of clothing were not enough to keep me warm. No matter how tough you think you are, wear at minimum 2 *heavy* layers of clothing, and a thick windbreaker (my think raincoat did not hold up) and a hat to keep your head and ears warm. It's not just that it's 10 degrees colder on the water -- it's a constant cold wind blowing at you... and that's on a day when there wasn't a strong wind on the island itself. If you're not properly dressed, you won't find it relaxing. Although this tour company does warn you about the colder weather on the boat, it does not sufficiently warn you about the constant unrelenting wind.

I called, and within a few minutes we were headed over to rent a John boat for a few hours. They made the process easy and quick, even helping out with licensing and boater safety certification. And the price...unbeatable. Of course, once we were out on the water, our day became our own to manage...exploring the river, finding the fish, figuring out what they were eating, etc. But never once did we have any problem related to the boat or motor. When we returned to the dock, they were right there to help us get tied off and unloaded. Whether you're looking for an outing for fishing, photography, or just the pleasure of being on the water, give PRCC a try.

This wasn't the greatest experience in the world, and at one point it was a comical disaster. We…read morewent on a very windy day (10-20 mph) that got windier as we were on the water. The way out against the wind and tide was tough. The way back, with wind and tide hitting us sideways, was worse. We got pushed into the marsh reeds and stuck in the mud, with each wave pouring into the canoe and soaking our butts. The water was not deep (obviously, since we were stuck), and it wasn't super-cold, but it was a little freaky to be totally unable to move against the tide and wind. By the way, I had called the company the prior day to discuss whether we could even go out in those conditions, and explained we had kayaked in the past but never in rough water or high winds. Eventually, we pushed our way out with our paddles in the muck and turned to open water. No thanks to our guide, who was 50 feet ahead, just sort of sitting there in open water. He seemed oblivious to our struggles, as well as the other person on our trip, who also had been blown into the marsh. So while I appreciated that we saw a lot of ponies in the marsh, I can't rate the experience very highly when we got such little help from our guide. Overall, he was nice, but he was a slacker. He gave us no advice on how to position ourselves in the wind and tide, and when I referred to how hard it was when we were finished, he said, Yeah, you seemed to be working it out, and the water was cold so I didn't want to have to climb in and pull you. Dude, that's what you're paid to do! Bottom line is that our guide was only ok. He told us interesting stuff about the ponies and their evolution. We talked about launches from Wallops. He knew about the grasses and snails and tides and other stuff, if we asked. And I give him credit for taking us to a 2nd area with more ponies, even though it extended his time beyond schedule. But was it a 5-star effort to make us feel confident under tough conditions? No.
