About a five mile bike ride from the Snow Hill Road bridge takeout, where I left the car, to the CR 419 Bridge put in, where I had dropped the kayak

Haw Creek

Launched from Haw Creek Preserve, near Bunnel, at 10:40.

Paddled up the Creek

I do not think I have paddled this far up the Creek before. Prior paddles have been mostly downstream. Today was windy, and Haw Creek widens as it approaches Dead and Crescent Lakes, down stream.

This section of the Creek looks like it may have been dredged and straightend.

Lakes Maitland, Nina and Minnehaha

Launched onto Lake Maitland, from Fort Maitland Park, at 8:59.

If the juvenile bald eagle had been in the tree when I paddled past, I may not have seen it. I saw it land, and had to back up for the view.

Glassy water on the way to Dog Island.

Wekiva River, from Katie's Landing

On the water at 12:21. Delayed by technology. New iphone 12 photos were not getting to the laptop. I tried to fix that. Now, the phone, which I have had for about a week, is not working.
