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. Robert G. > Bob Denton offered: > Next time you come down, let me know.
