We popped up early, 7:30 AM. and since there was a fair wind and sun we decided to bolt for the take out. We made no real breakfast. A square or two of chocolate was enough to keep us working through the camp breakdown and boat loading. The temperature was a delightful low 70's and the breeze was just enough to sail in but not too much to give us any trouble. We avoided the main channel completely and sailed along behind the smaller islands that lined our way to the boat ramp. Ken suggested that we try to beef up the paddles with some gorilla tape, but that proved ineffective. So it was sail and kayak paddle for all the way back to the boat ramp. We were sailing by 8 and packed up and in the car by 9:30. Our next destination was the drive through bird trail on Merritt Island
Still very early
Lets try to fix these paddles
All taped up
Still a bit hungry
Cracked nail!
A gull billed tern
The sun is coming up
Snaking our was through these little islands
All smiles!
We will avoid the main channel
Helicopters aloft
Vultures on the ground
Docked and unloaded
As if!
It has been 3 years and 281 days since we began our Migration
