Kayak Adventure

This morning we booked a guided kayak trip from Bunche Beach, Ft. Myers. It was Richie's 24th birthday. He had us laughing as he started out for the first time, but he caught on quick! We paddled across the bay looking for, but not finding any creatures. A paddle around the mangroves had us looking at pelicans and cormorants. Then we went into the canals. As we headed toward a bend, Tess and Mike yelled, " Dolphins!" We all paddled quickly and were able to be in amongst two dolphins as they surfaced to breath and once showed off their fish! We continued in a canal when three young boys yelled, "There's a manatee here." Several of the group saw him. I had my camera ready, but didn't see it. We were then guided through a mangrove tunnel where we could hardly paddle. Richie kept going sideways and Robert would ram him. They'd get stuck, yelling at each other and I'd laugh! We were out for three hours. What a great trip! This afternoon we went to meet our new great-nephew born yesterday, Colton Reign Myers. So happy to visit with him, Leslie, David and sister, Caitlyn! What a fantastic day!
