Another sunny, beautiful day on the water, 74 degrees. The last week was spent on my balsa wood bridge breaking program for middle and high school kids. I have held the bridge breaking program since 1979  The Expressway Authority Website is now helping out. 

Today was just birds, coconuts and a day marker labeled “No Boats”.

A great day back in Florida for kayaking! 66 degrees and sunny!, No manatees or dolphin this morning, but Night Herons, Anhinga, Cormorant, Osprey, etc. Such nice people out too! I tossed a baseball (I found paddling Amy’s kayak in Washington State) onto the lawn where two dogs will find it and I picked up a few items of trash, including a softball which I will toss tomorrow..

Yellow Crowned Night Heron, one of six by my place!
