Greeted by otters
For some reason, I usually do not see a lot of turtles on the Chaz.
Yellow crowned night heron
Boat house which has been on the Chaz longer than I,(2005) is sliding into the River.
Sad. Dead dolphin
The Chassahowitzka and its tributaries have a different manatee season. I think it is because they use the many islands, tidal, and spring fed creeks as a travel corridor through the summer.
There was a time, when I was narrower and my then kayak wider, that I got out at the Dog Island Dock.
Crawford Creek
Had to get out of the kayak
I snorkeled.
Scarfed down the first half of the Publix sub on the way to Haulover Canal on Saturday. Online ordering from work is wonderful.
Alligator
Back on the Chaz.
Potter Creek
Behind Potter Spring you will find Ruth Spring Run
Ruth Springs is one of the prettiest paddles I do.
Back on Potter Spring.
Down Potter Creek
Paddlers on the Chaz. Must be getting near the Campground. Which is the only place to put in on the Chaz and its tributaries.
Crab Creek
One of the Crab Creek Springs
The dead dolphin. My first thought was, some idiot dragged it here.
When I asked the kayak rental guys, they said someone called Fish and Wildlife, who arrived quickly, and went out to get it. A necropsy would be done, later.Landed at 4:35.
A final look at the Chasshowitzka after loading the kayak.
