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.

Blackwater Creek

On the Creek in the Seminole State Forest at 1:00.

I paddled up the Creek, just past the mat of vegetaion Traies and I (mostly Traies) punched through the other day. It was difficult, but I made it. Hard both ways.
