Wekiva River, Blackwater Creek, Lake Dora

This may be the first beer I have had in the kayak.  At a Blues fest, so it is allowed.

The first night of the Mount Dora Blues and Grove Festival was Friday.  So, I got to bed late.  And, was looking for a folding chair. Mine broke, Friday.   Hefty fella that I am, I cannot put all of my weight on one arm rest when getting up.  No chairs at Publix, or a nearby hardware store.  On the Wekiva River from Katies Landing at 10:42.

 As I usually do, a recent paddle to the Little Wekiva being the exception that proves the rule, I paddled down the Wekiva River.

 

 Another, newer, "usual".  The alternate channel Luis told me about a few months ago.

Landed at 3:50. A Dollar General on the way to Mount Dora had folding chairs.  All the same light weight design as the one I broke.  I'll be careful until I get a fat man's chair.  One other problem. The sleeve used for carrying is tight and not opaque.  An observant person could see I had two Miller Lites.  I had sure I turned it towards my body when passing police officers and ticket takers. Glad I kept the broken chair sleeve.  Plenty of room for a couple of beers and frozen water to keep them cool

 And, you cannot read label through the American flag design.

I  heard the first band, Jeff Howell, as I walked in.  This is Paul Stott

 You can't see Mr. Stott, he is the guitar player

 

 Great location for a festival.

 

Checking the Yak Dave Mobile between sets

 

 Next up, The Pitbull of Blues

 The Bull is a pup. His dad is the bass player

They were good, but, I was on a lake, with my kayak, and sunset was approaching

 All signs said get on the water. So, I did.

 

Yes, that is banjo music

 My zoom works well

 This is about how it would be with the naked eye.

 Back to guitar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there are canons, I will take a picture.

 

 

 Landed at 8:20

A big chair to fill in the blues world with the loss of B.B. King

Next performer, Buddy Blue

 Headliner

 John Mayall

 

 When I'm over 80, I want to be John Mayall
I have a lot more video.  Someday, if I ever catch up on the one month Yak Tales backlog, I may add them. Several, plus some from Friday night, are on my Facebook page.
