DeLeon Springs State Park

On the water at 12:30. Light rain, distant thunder. The Spring was still open, so....."Get out of the swim area!" Oh well, good thing I was not in the swim area.

Launched from Wekiwa Springs State Park at 12:40. On the water, I realized I grabbed the wrong camera. With a dead battery. So all the pics in this Tale are with the Iphone 12 or Olympus Tough. Both which have minimal zoom.

The mat of vegetation was harder to paddle through today than yesterday. This is not in. Here, I backed off and found an opening on the left bank.
