[Paddlewise] Everglades Trip

I am heading over to Southern Florida in about 2 weeks.  I plan to spend 
15-17 days paddling and site-seeing in the Ten Thousand Islands Area (4-5 
days), Flamingo area (5-6) days, Biscayne Bay N.P. (4 days) and upper Keys (2 
days).  I need a little information to help in my planning.

What water temps can I expect in these areas?
(I could not access my usual marine bouy info site)

What prevailing winds or wind patterns (if any) can I expect?

Are 4 day weather forecasts very dependable at this time of year?

Will Racoons rip/chew VCP hatch covers (rubber) to get to food and water?
If so how should I go about storing food and water in camp?

I would appreciate answers to these questions and any other information you 
thing would make a difference in making this a more enjoyable trip.


Sincerely 

Mark J. Arnold
