A few years ago, Jean and Jim took up kayaking. We have explored many of the rivers and coastal regions of the Florida Panhandle and other areas. I am trying to get a picture or two of the many sites we visit and present them here.

Bahia Honda, on the bay side - the water is so clear. This is a reef formation in the sea grass beds.

The South Florida Gators are not as big as the North Florida Gators, but there sure are a lot of them!

At Three Sisters Spring at Kings Bay on the head waters of the Crystal River. We knew this was a young manatee because there were no motorboat scars on its back.
