<\/a><\/p>\nAfter 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!<\/p>\n Because it was a cloudy week, I booked a kayak excursion in the mangroves.

As I was alone in mine, it was a challenge to paddle, steer and take photos at the same time\u2026I was able to catch a friendly manatee that wanted to check me out\u2026but had a harder time catching the wild dolphins frolicking around us\u2026<\/p>\n Too soon it was time to head back home\u2026I already miss it\u2026<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
