Lakes Maitland and Nina

On the water at 6:47 PM. Have to make up time as the power went out at work last night. And the surrouding area. No street or traffic lights. One doozy of a thunderstom. Wind, hail, 2.5 inches of rain.

Lakes Maitland and Nina. Monday, September 11.

A late start after getting to bed after 1 AM. And cutting the "lawn". Whacking the weeds is more accurate. 10:19 on Lake Maitland.

Last Full Day Up North

Morning walk to Otto Mielke Lake. Above are Olympus photos, below, Iphone 7.
Dock at the south end of Pickeral Lake. Took a while to figure out where to launch to paddle the Saint Germain River. Puting in here had me going upstream, first. Which is good.
On the Lake at 10:30

Lake Tomahawk Throughfare, Big Arbor Vitae

Deer on Rudolph Road as I drove back to the cottage
Out of order pics due to space and 2 camera issues. I stayed at the Narrows with my brother and his wife 23 years ago. Eagle pair is from the afternoon on Big Arbor Vitae, house pic is last of the day. I also can't see the phots as I edit, just letters and numbers.

About Me

I bought a used kayak in March, 2005 and began sending tales of trips to friends and family. That November, generous friends bought me a camera, Canon Powershot 400, so pictures were added to the tales. January 2007, I was able to add underwater photography, thanks to one of my brothers. I am now on my sixth camera. As of May, 2014, I have a Powershot 115 IS. When I began kayaking in 2005, I would search the Internet for paddling information, trip reports, and practical advice. I hope this site adds to your knowledge and enjoyment. My home in Winter Park, FL,north of Orlando,allows easy access to both coasts and all the spring fed rivers in between. Many Tales are day trips. No overnight stay required. I welcome your comments and will try to respond to any questions you may have. If you are in, or plan to visit Key West, call my brother, Andy Cannon, at 305-879-0862. If it floats, flies, fishes, swims, scubas, snorkels or sails, Andy can arrange your tour, rental or self-guided adventure. Happy Paddling!
