Thanks for the offer Bob!

I have actually lived in northern Palm Beach County for over 30 years
but escaped the insane property costs for little ol' Micanopy, just
south of Gainesville, over 3 years ago.

My favorite paddles are Munyon Island, as you mentioned, and Palm Beach,
just off of Southern Blvd. For fresh water, the Loxahatchee is hard to
beat, but I think the pristine, spring-fed rivers we have up here beat
it out, like the Ichetucknee and Silver River, both amazingly pristine,
crystal-clear and beautiful.

If I hadn't forgotten my "Paddle-Boy" kayak cart I would have put in off
of Jupiter or Juno Beach. I didn't feel like carrying my 70# kayak over
sand dunes and down wooden stairs.... Ugghhh!

I'll let you know next time I get down there for a paddle.
