St Johns River at Blue Spring


On the River from French Ave. at 8:14.  There was a line to get into the main part of Blue Springs State Park

Looking into the Spring Run.  Off limits until March 31.  Unless you are a manatee.

Wish I got a better picture of the turtle sunning on a gator's tail. 

































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.
