On the water from Sugarloaf Lodge at 11:10

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

Anne's Beach Islamorada Oct 7

It is good to park close to the water when you have a bad leg.

Back when I was working, and driving to the Lower Keys on holiday weekends, there was never parking at Anne's Beach. On this Wednesday in October, I was the only one here.

On the water at 10:13 from Camp Joy. Should have been at least a half hour earlier but the new online reservtion system is terrible. I sent a detailed email to Orange County with suggestions to make it better.
