Rock Springs Run

A delay getting in the kayak to see a manatee in Wekiwa Sprig.
Two more manatees just outside the Spring.
I was unable to get a photo of any of them.

Long Key State Park

Headed home from Monica and Bill's.
Started the day with a walk with my sister. Stopped by my nephew's house for a brief visit, than went to Harpoon Harry's for breakfast with brother Andy. I had shrimp benedict and grits.
Crossing the Seven Mile Bridge and saying Hi to Fred the Tree.
On the water at 1:00. Most of the trail markers now have interpertive signs.
The "lake" is good to paddle on a breezy day.
Zane Gray Creek flows from the lake into open water.

Into Perky Creek
Out to Bill Finds Key
I usually paddle to the key beyond Bills Find, but not this time as both the tide and wind were strong
