We are expecting rain tomorrow and then windy conditions for quite some time, so today we took the last opportunity to do a bit of kayaking in the backwaters near the Fort Pierce Inlet. Launching across from Little Jim Island, we thought we had suddenly gone back to the 1000 Islands and the Alexandria Bay Poker Run with speed boats being launched.
We quickly got away and back into the mangrove water trails that got smaller and smaller.
I even found a sunken boat, although at first I thought it was a manatee.
Eventually the channel became wider and we had a fantastic exploration, even if the water wasn't clear on this day. Best of all, we didn't get lost!
Waterbirds are really nesting now and we certainly were watched from above. Could that be the evil eye they are giving us?
Now we have paddled and are ready for whatever weather comes our way. I can see some "one bladder" Bitsy trips in the near future.
Footnote: I have had my second covid vaccine shot and had very little side effects, mainly a sore, bruised, and swollen arm. There is even a possibility that Dave will be able to get his shot(s) this month, which is encouraging.
