Suwannee River, Fanning Springs



On the Suwannee at 7:56 AM for a short paddle before checking out of the cabin.  A balmy 38 degrees. Probably a tad warmer, on the water

Steam rising off the Suwannee
More steam in the warmer water of Fanning Springs Run. 
No manatees observed







Into the run from Little Fanning Springs





Woodstork

The spring is behind the fallen tree. I got to it, Saturday, but did not have time to get out of my kayak today.  Taking water shoes off, rolling up my pants, reversing the process, plus toweling off, takes time. 







Back on the Suwannee



Very steamy back in Fanning Spring Run

Still no manatees


My walking shoes, at the landing

Trees and limestone



US 27 bridge














Landed at 9:05



A good thing the manatees were outside the swim area, or I would have been late for work.






Work is 140 miles away.  Had to be there at 12:30.  Clocked in at 12:31. Because it is more difficult to log into the work computer then it is to launch a ICMB.
