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.

    So Dave, where are we paddling on Monday?
    Or, you could come paddle with Lars and others on Sunay on the Wacasassa and Wekiva :^)

    Same place I always paddle the last day of a Cedar Key weekend. Setting out from the City Beach around 11 am, then going where the spirit moves and seas allow.
    Low tide is at noon
    2013-03-18 Mon 12:11 EDT 1.23 feet Low Tide
    2013-03-18 Mon 18:13 EDT 3.33 feet High Tide
    2013-03-18 Mon 19:42 EDT Sunset
    Light chop forecast. Yesterday the marine forecast Sat-Mon was smooth.

    Creature of habit that I am, I will paddle the Wacasassa and Wekiva Saturday morning on the way to Cedar Key

Well, I tried to allow Anonymous postngs. As soon as I did, I had the same problem with the same person/spammer posting comments. One jerk spoils it for all. So,you'll need to register to post a comment.
