Dave's Yak Tales: Lakes Maitland, Nina, and Minnehaha

Lakes Maitland, Nina, and Minnehaha

A nice short Wednesday morning paddle. Only marred by the assholes behind the mallards.

An asshole is an asshole whether it is a jet skier blasting through an Idle Speed zone, or paddle boarders parking in a No Parking area, on grass. The paddle boarders piss me off more. They probably think, oh, we are one with nature. I think their yogi worships a hamburger. It was 9:15.

Wood duck family

Always a treat to see a pelican 50 miles inland

Also good to see an otter

In my eight years kayaking these lakes I do not think I have seen eight alligators. This one, stalking the wood ducks, is the biggest

Landed just after 11. I will greet you from Cedar Key, Saturday.

Or, you could come paddle with Lars and others on Sunay on the Wacasassa and Wekiva :^); March 14, 2013 at 6:56 PM
