Re: [Paddlewise] first post to list>>Cayo Costa

My family and i are getting ready for our annual trek to Cayo Costa.  My 
girlfriend and I take our six children camping for a week as our big Florida 
vacation because we were angry as teens that all our friends got to go to 
Florida for spring break and we couldn't afford it.  ;)  I'll take your 
recipe with us, thanks!  ...and of course my kayak...last year I got ALMOST 
all the way around the island on a day trip, but the winds were very high 
all week. I'm hoping for a better chance this year to do the whole 
circumnavigation.  It's a fun place.  I strongly recommend it, but don't 
tell too many people!

Delmarva again....
