St Johns River, Satsuma, Florida

Staying at an Airbandb tiny cottage near the St Johns River.
A few pics from the morning walk.
The one room cottage has a nice porch. And access to an outdoor kitchen with a two burner propane stove. I overcooked sausage and eggs.
After breakfast I wheeled my kayak to the ramp at the end of the street. ON the River at 10:00.
I started up stream, then through a channel into the main channel of the St Johns
