Ding Darling

White pelicans from Wildlife Drive.

I was on the water at 10:28

Manateees

New Caloosa SHores bridge. Not as scenic as the one Hurricane Ian took out.

Lovers Key State Park

They are invasive, but this impressive iguana deserves the opening photo honor

The day's first stop was Naples. To pick up my patched Kevlar Tsunaumi from Jay the Kayak Doctor. I had the kayak on the water at 1:14. After a nice chat about Tsunamis and manatees with a Facebook friend who I had never met. Eddie was the first to realive we knew each other. But not until the next morning.

I saw the manatees.

No wind in the canal

Rock Springs Run

On the Wekiva from Wekiwa Springs State Park at 11:27.

The Park and River were blissfully quiet. One canoe and 2 paddle boarders as I went downstream to Rock Springs Run.
