Re: Windblown in the Florida Keys 7th Jan to 15th Jan 2017

I think it worked out well that this trip was done in the 3rd year, not the 1st or 2nd. Your local knowledge that you've gained about the keys was obviou...

Hey Bea, you want to paddle with the boy and I, you can have the front seat of the double? All you would need is your paddle, life jacket and skirt. Or if not Bea, anyone else interested in riding in front seat of the double, with a toddler and myself riding behind? That sounds like fun to paddle w...

Hull Illumination - Saturday, July 30, 2016
Interesting night-time event tomorrow night. I've been to it a couple times by kayak. Last year we launched out near Hull Gut and made our way to the inside of Spinnaker Island and I think that worked out pretty well with a minimum of boat traffic cruising around from that direction. If you go, be p...
