the Bay Quest and (center)
its captain, David Rowe.
working on charter boats as a helper at age
13, and by 19 was a fully licensed captain.
After earning an art degree from
Virginia Commonwealth University, he
says he " fell back into " the charter business
and bought his first charter boat. His
Bay Quest Charters offer bay, river and
Atlantic Ocean fishing trips on a 43-foot
fiberglass deadrise, Bay Quest. He also
does eco-tours and scenic river tours; offseason
he oysters, does commercial net
fishing and crabs.
" When I heard about [the heritage
program], it resonated with me because
it's kind of what I've always done, " Rowe,
62, explains.
Rowe started doing eco-tours in 1987
when his son Matthew went to the
Governor's School and Rowe offered to
do a program there. He's guided trips for
students at St. Margaret's School in
Tappahannock and Longwood College
professors. He even has a special aquariJune
2015/www.co-opliving.com
um he puts on board so visitors can get a
close-up view of sea life.
" It was reassuring, " he says of the
heritage training he received. " I have the
clientele so I know the potential is there.
With oysters, we discuss equipment and
use hand tongs. I discuss how crab pots
were patented by Northumberland watermen
in the 1920s. The next generation
needs to know this. "
Greg White, president and CEO of
Northern Neck Electric Cooperative,
grew up on Gwynn's Island in Mathews
County, where his grandfather and uncle
were watermen.
" The cooperative was initially formed
by rural people who were farmers and
watermen on the Northern Neck. We'd
like to see them continue to succeed, " he
says. " These tours are a great way to showcase
the area to people not familiar with
it. People really need to take these tours
to understand what life is like here. "
