A Kayakers Paradise

March 28, 2007

One morning a group of us decided to take our kayaks down the river, south of Ocean Resorts, a kayak back. A group of us started together, but then we decided to go in different directions.

So Nancy White and Joni paddled a little further south to the Fort Pierce Inlet, where the river meets the ocean and boats can get into the ocean from their docks on the river. The water was very clean and rough, a little too rough to kayak in. So at that point we started to head back.

We came upon 4 dolphins, being very playful. Actually, Nancy said they were probably mating. They were jumping up high and having a real good time. It was hard to capture pictures, but we did the best we could. They started coming straight towards Joni and actually went right under her, but didn’t even stir the water. It was a neat experience.

As we traveled on down the river, we stopped for lunch on an island with a beautiful sandy beach. As you can see, it was paradise. As we passed some of the islands in the river, we noticed quite a few families camping. They just boat out to the islands and set up camp with their tents. What a way to vacation and have quality time with each other.
