Lake Norris

On Blackwater Creek at the Lake Norris Conservation Area at 11:42

Econlockhatchee River, Snow Hill to C.S. Lee

At my age, and with my kayaking every day, its good when people have their name on the back of their PFD.

Traies and I launched from Snow Hill Road at 9:03.The original plan was to launch at 419, and paddle 19 miles, but Traies remembered she had a cultural event this evening. So we only did the 11 mile section.

We saw several bald eagles. Or, perhaps the same one, over and over. Aways in flight, except this one on the transmission line tower.

Saw gators, inlcuding one huge one. Failed to get any photos.

Landed at 1:25

Lakes Maitland, Nina, and Minnehaha

On Lake Maitland at 11:10

Rock Springs Run

A delay getting in the kayak to see a manatee in Wekiwa Sprig.

Two more manatees just outside the Spring.

I was unable to get a photo of any of them.

Underway at 12:20
