Kayaks

 

Our kayaks have been idle for a long time, so a couple weekends ago we got the boats out, loaded them on the car, crossed the ferry, met up with Jeff and Carol, put in, and paddled at Lighthouse Trails Kayak Park.  The park is really simple; it’s some tidal flats filled with small islands and mangroves, with the Lydia Ann Lighthouse on the other side.  Nothing grows very high there, but from kayak level you can’t see over the brush, so you need a map.

 

We have a map of the park.  It’s an aerial photograph of the area with kayak trails drawn over it.  Funny how the view from three feet off the water looks so different from the view from straight above though.  We never got anywhere near the lighthouse; that challenge remains; but we had a great time exploring the mangrove flats and watching the wildlife.
