Mermaid's Landing is about a mile on the beach. Less expensive than my usual spot, Park Place which has higher rates during winter. So, I had to drive a mile to the beach.
On the Gulf at 7:34 AM
Sun views may be out of order as I had two cameras.

I can now add bald eagles to the roseate spoonbills, dolphins, white pelicans, and manatees I have seen in the Number 2 Channel

Mermaid's Landing. I did not have the waterfront cottage. Which is mudfront at low tide
I have stayed in the above water front cottage. Pirates Cove. Sold out this weekend
Landed at 9:30. Left car and kayaked at the beach. Biked back to my lodging.
Foreshadowing my next trip

Back in the yak around 1:20
My, what big feet you have.
Blue on blue
I think the bird just has its head down. I hope.
Don't recall rain. Maybe the drop is from waves as I pulled into the beach at.4:00
Took a second to remember where the above photo is from. The kitchen widow of my cottage
View from my door. Trees block the view.
Bike ride
Airstrip
I have not watched the sunset from here. A good spot, this time of year. But for the clouds
Public art is a public good
Back at Mermaid's Landing, 6:55
You should not have to pay whenever you stay at Cedar Key. If the Chamber of Commerce there has an idea of how things are they would name you Ambassador. I cannot think of a better way to promote Cedar Key than your posts on Dave's Yak Tales. At least that is the reason I visited there and the reason I plan to go back.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Luis. Ambassador is a lofty title. Perhaps Kayak Konsul.
