In the inflatable because my car is finally in the shop after the May 22, 2026 accident. Got the insurance check yestereday.
Launched from Fort Maitland Park at 2:28. In an Advanced Elements 2 person inflateable kayak. The good thing is it fits in the back of the rental car. The bad things are, it takes a while to pump it up with a foot pump, and is tough to paddle solo.
A thnunderstorm as I drove to the Alexander Spring Recreation Area. Still raining when I arrived. Waited a hour or so for it to clear.
On the Creek at 3:21

About Me
- Dave
- I bought a used kayak in March, 2005 and began sending tales of trips to friends and family. That November, generous friends bought me a camera, Canon Powershot 400, so pictures were added to the tales. January 2007, I was able to add underwater photography, thanks to one of my brothers. I am now on my sixth camera. As of May, 2014, I have a Powershot 115 IS. When I began kayaking in 2005, I would search the Internet for paddling information, trip reports, and practical advice. I hope this site adds to your knowledge and enjoyment. My home in Winter Park, FL,north of Orlando,allows easy access to both coasts and all the spring fed rivers in between. Many Tales are day trips. No overnight stay required. I welcome your comments and will try to respond to any questions you may have. If you are in, or plan to visit Key West, call my brother, Andy Cannon, at 305-879-0862. If it floats, flies, fishes, swims, scubas, snorkels or sails, Andy can arrange your tour, rental or self-guided adventure. Happy Paddling!
