Canaveral National Seashore


Launched from Lot 7 at the Canaveral National Seashore at 9:20.
 Mosquito Lagoon

 Off the marked trail through Shipyard Island, back in the Lagoon

 


 
Cross to Bethune Park
 Standup angler
Looking for manatees

There the are. Below.


 

I like this house

J.B.'s Fishcamp

 Rents kayaks.  More rental activity than I have ever seen.
 
 


 
Back at the National Seashore.  Funny how it is July 3 as I add the flag.
 Turtle Mound

 Dolphins.  One barely visible, above photo


 

Landed near Turtle Mound
 


Atop the Mound


 
 




 


 
 


 
 



 
Manatee


 


 


 
 


Dolphins
 
 


Two channels meet at Eldora,  Making it a good spot for dolphins.  And a 19th century settlement




Landed at 3. Went to the seashore section of Canaveral National Seashore


 

 Back to the Lagoon side
 

Went to a new location for lunch
 The Dolphin View.
 I stopped by once before, but did not eat.
 You order at a widow, grab a seat, a server calls out your name and brings the order
Shrimp, scallops, rice, cheesy grits, hush puppy.



Coast Guard
I recalled seeing islands full of birds my prior visit.
 I had been facing the wrong way




 For about the price of a meal alone, you can eat, and take a short cruise on this boat.  May do it one day
