Manatee at the island across from French Ave

Landed at 11:26.  Clocked in at work at 12:35. With a stop at Publix to pick up a sub I ordered, and paid for , before leaving the house.  My time was enhanced by almost perfect weather. T-shirt and bathing suit for the paddle.  Minimal (for Florida) humidity.  So no need for an improvised shower as there was no sweat.
