Lake Baldwin

Trying to paddle close to home with my car in the shop. Lake Baldwin is 4.8 miles away.
On the water at 12:47
Off leash dog park at Lake Baldwin Park. Wonder what people will pay for soggy tennis balls. A lot were in the lake. Dosen't say much for the retrival skills of the mutts.

Triplet Chain

Paddling the 5th different kayak in 5 days while my Outbacak is in the shop. I only want to put one on noodles on the roof as a last resort. My Pungo 120 fit better in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross than the Hurricane Skimmer. Shorter, and I could see the passenger side mirror. A 6 mile drive to Secret Lake Park.
On North Lake Triplet at 12:30
Into Middle Lake Triplet.

Suwannee River

A friend posted she was looking for a group to kayak the Suwannee. I figured a group would have an extra kayak, so I said I would go. Well, the group wimped out, and just the intrepid Darlene did the paddle. I would up renting a kayak from the Suwannee River Rendevous. $45 including a shuttle to Lafayette Blue Springs State Park.
On the water at 10:10.
