The Calm Before the Storm
In keeping with our early morning kayak adventures, we paddled from Fort Pierce's Jaycee Park on the Indian River, north to Faber Cove and back. The calm and quiet was amazing!
We are so glad we did this spur of the moment quick trip, because now the wind and rain has kicked in again. My lawn is loving it though, and it sure is better than the 8 - 12+" of snow predicted for up home and Ticonderoga. It's not time to migrate back north yet!

Serenity Now
Our third morning kayak trip was to Peck Lake in the Intracoastal Waterway. We beat the crowds to Jupiter Island and had the ocean beach all to ourselves. There were lots of boats in the lake itself (really just a wide spot in the ICW) but it sure was serene overlooking the cruising fleet. We imagined ourselves cruising again, but then all the boat wakes started and we laughed and were glad we sleep on land!
This schooner was a beauty though, but really rocked in the waves.
After"serenity now" comes "insanity later" (thanks Seinfeld 😉), which is what must have happened with high winds and this sailboat that dragged anchor back in the mangroves.
We do seem to find all the derelict boats, don't we? That's the fun of kayaking and getting in all the places most people don't and can't go.

Look what walked into Dave's workshop...
Dave heard a hissing sound and looked down to see this gopher tortoise clunking it's way in on the concrete floor. He put on a pair of gloves, picked it up and placed it outside near a grassy retention pond and some bushes.

Lots of Horsepower!
Click on the photos, zoom in, and count 'em up. 😉
While kayaking the Fort Pierce Inlet, we also came across a derelict motor yacht beached on the spoil island. I don't think it had any horsepower though and it had been stripped of everything worth saving.
Dave couldn't resist paddling inside this boat of Promises, which its name is a bit ironic considering what has become of it. Cocktails on the aft deck anyone? 😆
It will take a lot more horsepower than Dave paddling to get it off the beach. Maybe they should just use all those boats with multiple engines to tow it away. That certainly would do the trick!
