"Kayaking" Pics...
 

Not the real deal: no white water, pretty low impact, and a lazy
"winter"/spring day here in SW FLA...

Me&theBoss did a few hours paddle out through the myriad bays
to the gulf and back. Lots of birds, nice fish jumping, one gator,
some nice boats and big buck condos, etc. Out from Bonita Springs,
through Wiggins Pass to the Gulf, and back. I only took a few pics,
as I had my lil' Canon S50 triple freezer bagged in case I tipped.

Note the "River Shack", someone's full time joint on the river and
the "African Queen" looking boat. That motor will need some work.:rofl:

Highly rec'd for a fun half a day...thanks for looking. :thumbup:
BR,mD

Looks like fun but, what do you do when you see a crocodile?

You imagine yourself "Crocodile Dandy" :nanana:

I think you check your shorts when you see a croc. As Florida is home to the GATOR...

motordavid,
though you attacked earlier, i have to say nice pics and hope u had a good time kayaking.

There are actually a handful of crocs in the Keys. I've seen them.

mD, when do you head back to the hill?

There actually are a few Crocs in the far southern areas around the "tip" of FL, and around the lower keys; at least some have been reported by the fish and wildlife dept. They prefer the brackish waters and/or near salt water conditions.

The gators we see, even around the big ponds here on the golf course are fairly lethargic, at least in daytime. They recently caught (and probably killed after dragging it away), an 11.5 footer at the "lake" on our #17th hole; it supposedly had charged some ol'lady walking her dog.

I don't swim with them, nor give them any provocation; diving with sharks
is seemingly much less risky, to me, in our experiences.

Ray,
In 10ish days...I need a teleporter machine and a gang to come
in and get us organized here, pre-migration. 2 cars loaded to the
gunnels, 2 drugged cats, files and paperwork, flash drives full of
pics and info, etc. Not beefing, but a 2nd joint is a pia, 'spensive,
and a logistical nightmare. The twin, but not mirrored set of friends
and lifestyle is odd, too.

Nice pics as usual mD! Thanks for sharing.

Cool pics! thanks for sharing, mD! :thumbup:

Very cool pics... looks like a lot of fun in the sun. Nice, uh, waterfront property an yacht :rofl:

Yes the river shack is a little sad and I was wondering were my boat was;)

great pics, mD!
at least for me, seeing a gator would make for one hell of a workout!
I've enjoyed the ICW quite a bit my last few times down there, the boating is great (even in December!)

Great pictures and what a nice sport. We have 3 Necki's and enjoy going on local lakes, streams and even Lake Superior in Upper Michigan. It will put you in good shape..
