Econlockhatchee River

>
Tim and I were on the river from the 419 Bridge at 8:40
Good thing I was paddling with a buddy. I heard wings flapping overhead. Dismissed it as a vulture. Luckily, Tim turned around. Eagle! Luckily for both of us, it landed.

Wekiva River

Did not get on the water until after 5PM. Cut the lawn, then decided to wait to go kayaking after lunch. Thunderstorms were forecast from 2 to 5. Some rain near me, it appeared Katie's Landing stayed dry.
On the River at 5:12.
Paddled up stream for a bit to start.
The alligator was my turnaround point.
