Kayaks, kabobs, and Keys, Oh My!

How can it get any better? Try this--- rode the bikes this morning over to the Sand and Sea Nature Center and watched a DVD about manatees with Jimmy Buffett (recorded). Then up to the top of the Flagler bridge for absolutely flawless scenery. Then a short walk down the bridge approach to a beautifully hidden geocache named "Wind and Wings". Saw a beautiful blue-black skink lizard and gulls kiting no more than five feet over our heads. Then back to the RV for lunch, cooked up bacon and sausage for the next week and took a cooling nap.
Decided that Micky and I needed to make sure we could reboard our kayaks in deep water. My brilliant plan was to drag the kayaks by hand on the Seitech Dolly over to the swimming beach and we did. It's a lot longer than I thought! Launched off the beach and then paddled under the bridge and over to the 'borrow pit'. Saw a heron so still, he could have been carved. Found a much better launch site not 100 feet from camp. Took out there and then I walked to the beach and recovered our dolly. A quick shower and cool-down with some juice.
A well paced day.
This evening we're having steak kabobs from Publix with corn and a flashy sunset. Only eleven days left.

  1. Wow.... hardly seems like you have been gone that long, yet, it seems like forever. We have really been enjoying your blog postings. We will FINALLY get our camper back this week. We also found a covered storage place only 5 miles away. Life is good, we miss you guys!
