28 May 2026 Anastasia State Park: Anastasia State Park

 


We drove over to Ormond beach and got lunch at a funky diner, the Pirana Grille.  Then we headed over to the coast and stopped a few times along the drive north, a few stops along the beach and also a intercoastal nature walk.  We got to Anastasia State park, set up the tents and took the canoe out to the salt lake.  Ken brought his fly rod and was merrily casting his line out.  He got a hit on his lure and over compensated on the hooking of the fish and dumped the canoe over.  We laughed and felt a bit embarrassed as we struggled to flip the boat over and re-board.  There were some casualties, a lost speaker, leaking dry bag, broken sunglasses and so forth.  We headed back to the camp and settled in for the night.

This sign was small and not very effective, what is a club color?  Are gangs now just clubs?

Saw a black skimmer lifebird #2


You can see the line in the water where the skimmer had flown along with his beak in the water


More rain on the way
