Chassahowitzka

 

 

 Mermaid columns at the Quality Inn, Weeki Wachee

Bacon, and sausage on the free breakfast buffet.  I'll stay here again.

 Checked, out, and went to Weeki Wachee Springs.

 Today, there were two manatees.   Saturday, there had been only one.

Four videos for your entertainment.

Approaching the Chas

It was a windy day, so I did not venture further out on the wider Chassahowitka River

 I explored Salt Springs Run

 

 

Back to the Chass, again

 

 

 

 Baird Creek

 

 The run to "The Crack" Spring.  To shallow to paddle, and I don't believe in walking.  Plus, from the abandoned canoe and kayak, people were already there.

 

 Baird Blue Spring

 

 

 

 Back on the Chassahowitzka

 

 

 

The pelicans I saw to start the day were still near the launch.

Manatees at Chassahowitzka Spring

 

 

 

Landed at 3:20.  I only had an apple and a granola bar while on the water, so the hotdog cart was a welcome site.

Need to wear your PFD in this kayak
