Looking for manatees

There the are. Below.

 

I like this house

J.B.'s Fishcamp

 Rents kayaks.  More rental activity than I have ever seen.

 

 

 

Back at the National Seashore.  Funny how it is July 3 as I add the flag.

Dolphins

 

 

Two channels meet at Eldora,  Making it a good spot for dolphins.  And a 19th century settlement

Landed at 3. Went to the seashore section of Canaveral National Seashore

 

 Back to the Lagoon side

 

Went to a new location for lunch

 The Dolphin View.

 I stopped by once before, but did not eat.

 You order at a widow, grab a seat, a server calls out your name and brings the order

Shrimp, scallops, rice, cheesy grits, hush puppy.

Coast Guard

I recalled seeing islands full of birds my prior visit.

 I had been facing the wrong way

 For about the price of a meal alone, you can eat, and take a short cruise on this boat.  May do it one day
