While I was in the Keys I visited an attraction called: Theater of the sea in Islamorada…although they talk of conservation a lot, it still has a circus flavour with animals doing tricks….
After the fishing trip, I got in my car and drove north to Cocoa Beach, my usual haunt. I had anticipated a much longer drive than it was, which was a relief. The next morning, I was able to walk my favourite beach for hours, catching one more launch!
Because it was a cloudy week, I booked a kayak excursion in the mangroves. These kayaks were not the traditional legs enclosed models, you just sat on top of them, so they were a lot less stable. As I was alone in mine, it was a challenge to paddle, steer and take photos at the same time…I was able to catch a friendly manatee that wanted to check me out…but had a harder time catching the wild dolphins frolicking around us…
Too soon it was time to head back home…I already miss it…
