I've been paddling the same places for years. The Wekiva river in Florida. An occasional visit to the Gulf waters near Naples, Florida or the Mosquito Lagoon. I've been looking at some beautiful scenes of Thailand, Belize or the Bahamas and have been thinking of taking a trip to kayak beautiful warm waters in an exotic location. I solicit help from this group to identify the best warm water locations - and practical advice as to finding outfitters etc. Thanks Phares Heindl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Baja gradually becomes less exotic, though there is still enough room there to get lost or vanish at all. Did you ever think of Exumas national park? It's pretty close to Florida, though air connection is not the best possible - on the islands close to the park there are airstrips for small 4-5 person planes only. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

He mentioned some place in Vietnam where he paddled through large sea caves on islands which contained lagoons in the middle which also contained islands. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
