The day began with a beach walk at sunrise.
Dam it! Been posting photos for at least 90 minutes and they all disappeared. Wasn't even done with the beach walk.
I wonder if the concrete blocks pictured earlier are the base of the tower,
Everything I know about nature, I learned from kiosks.
Up to the invention of the world wide web
Osprey
Low tide
I know the brown bird is a ruddy turnstone.
Back to where I was before losing the last 35 photos.
Strolling back to the condo, 8:07.
Breakfast, on to Ding Darling,
Launch site No. 2
Under way at 10:15. More to come
Into the mangroves
Out of the mangroves
Out the short channel at a water control structure to the "chain of lakes"
Osprey
I missed the photo where a bald eagle was harassing an osprey. Reinforcements arrived, chasing the eagle away.
Landed at 12:50
Lunch
The commute from 16D to 12D
Choppy at Lighthouse Point. Good place to have one.
Used the shorter kayak. Better for getting to the shore on the boardwalk, worse for water coming over the bow. But, that only happened once.
I turned around
Into the sunset
I think I saw dolphins earlier, but it is now Thursday night, so I only have proof, and memory of this point in the paddle.
A look back
Best location on the island. Next to Lighthouse Park
The gang was gathering in the unit with the lights on. My presence on the Gulf was noted by some inside
Saw more dolphins before landing at 5:45
Gathering in 5C
Walking back to 16D
