Hi Dave,

Not memorable as in anyone else would care, but memorable in as much as it
was the first paddle from the dock in out back yard. We just moved to Cape
Coral, FL from Cincinnati and over the weekend was the first time we threw
the boats in from the dock and had a paddle.

Amaizing how different paddling down the "street" in the back of the house
is from walking down the street in front. Easier to meet people from a kayak
for some reason. Also saw some kind of snapper and a couple snook, maybe 22
inches or so. Ducks, anhinga, the usual for around here.

It's not wilderness paddling by any stretch, but you can't get more
convienent - grab the paddle and pfd from the lanai, walk 30 feet, slip the
kayak in and go.

Thanks for asking, I wouldn't have though it a milestone, but it is a first!

Regards,

Carey

Did anyone have any memorable kayak trips over the Memorial weekend?  I was
on-call for my job so wasn't able to leave town.
