A new launch site for me near the 1000 Islands in Cocoa Beach. The one I used to use, at Ramp Road, is now $6. Per hour. This one, near the Cocoa Beach Country Club, is free.

Flooding rain from earlier in the week have docks underwater. I launched from the shore.

Wekiva and Little Wekiva

Launched for the first time ever at Wekiwa Falls. A bluegrass fest is taking place there this weekend. The entry fee is $6 instead of $8 for bluegrass fans. I told the clerk I was there for the fest and was charged $4. I guess its $8 Saturday and Sunday.

On the water at 12:23.

Paddling down the short run from the sulphur spring to the Wekiva River.
