St Johns River - BLue Spring and Snake Creek Area

Resident Eagle

After months neglecting the yak finally made it back to the water. I will not going into the details of this trip as there are not much details to tell. Simply kayaked the area near Blue Springs, you cannot go in because is a manatee refuge from Nov 15 to February(???), and a bit into Snake Creek. It was a relaxing and fun day.

And this is it. I wish to have some of these ops back. Would have done a better job. I guess that is what months of inactivity and no practice does to you. Anyways hope you like the pics and stay tuned. I will make a better effort to stay active and share the Views From Our Kayak.

Wood Stork and Spoonie at Mullet Head Islan

Hello there. It has been a while. I know. But we went back to the water and enjoyed our three hours in the Indian River around Mullet Head Island and Haulover Canal. We put in at Bair's Cove as the bridge is still closed.
