Geiger Key, Sugarloaf Key, and Salt Run


I launched at the spot on Geiger Key, just past the RV park and tiki bar.



Another windy day, so I explored in and out of the mangrove islands.
 Jellyfish


 Sponge



 Geiger Key Marina


 Magnificent frigate bird




 A peek at the open water
 Back to the mangroves



Of course its world famous.  After all, it has been in Dave's Yak Tales.
 Coming to shore
 Ibis in the parking area

 Bridge from Geiger Key to Big Coppitt Key
 Iguana at the Sugarloaf Lodge.  Where I put in again, thinking it might be less windy on the Florida Bay side.


 Still windy

 I found shelter










Sugarloaf Lodge Tiki Bar.  The view from inside is coming up










 Fish from the dock after I landed.




Best deal in the Lower Keys. $5. Pulled pork. With a $2:50 Yuegling

Back to my sister's for a bit, than back in the kayak.

Salt Run expands into a pond less than 2 blocks from Monica's house


 The bridge I picked over on Christmas
 Flagler Avenue bridge


 Into the Riviera Canal






 Though the mangroves to the Salt Ponds



Could not linger long. Stupid, short, December days.







 Don't have to worry about errant drives











Back in the pond where I began
 Salt Run continues



 Roosevelt Blvd.



Not a pelican











 Dinner at Mangia Mangia



 Never noticed the art on the ceiling.  Maybe because I never had to wait for the restroom before.
