Wekiva, Rock Springs Run, Alexander Spring, Silver River

Manates in the Silver River.  5 near the Fort King Paddling Trail entrance

 An early start on the last day of the year.

 On the Wekiva River at 7:05 AM

Snorkeling

Appears that I did not kayak on Alexander Creek

Went to Silver Springs State Park for the afternoon paddle

Manatee

 Landed at 5:15

 I think this is a motel just of I-75 in Ocala.  Good place to get a jump on my first paddle of 2017
