Papa’s World – Kayaking the canals with family!

/ Tom / 1 Comment

For Ella’s Spring break – Debby – Ella and Sarah came for a visit – we have a friend who lives on the island –

His house sits on one of the canals and he has two docks.

He borrowed two Kayaks from the neighbors – plus the two he owns –

So Sherry, Debby, Sarah, and Ella went out just for about an hour in the canals.

Here they get ready to depart – the getting in and out was the difficult part –

Once in – they had an easy time of paddling.

On their way – the canal or channel is one of many before you go out on the ICW-

We told them not to go out on the ICW – because the rough water from large boats

could be dangerous.

They had an excellent time while my friend Jim and I – had a cold beer and sat and talked.

After nearly one hour they returned.

The return of four very happy ladies after their tour of the channels.

PAPA’S WORLD – KAYAKING THE CANALS WITH THE FAMILY!!!!

Papa’s World – Cherry Grove – nature walk!

The sign to the entrance of the nature preserve

After a attempt to walk the beach –

the wind was too strong and we opted to try the more

protected walk on the marsh!

The beginning of the trail

Once we got in among the brush and trees

we were somewhat protected from the wind

and the Sun was warm!

Walkway above the marsh and tidal pathways

We could observe the water fowl – the fish and crabs!

The crabs were burying themselves in the bottom mud!

They seemed to know we were there as they quickly buried themselves!

The walk in was on a walkway and then a path through the sand!

We were protected from the blowing wind by the shrubs and trees!
How the tide influences the marsh!

I was ever watchful for snakes and if there were gators?

But – I never saw either one!

There were many signs along the way with information on the area!

Along the way were several covered picnic areas!

Thinking that when family visits –

this would be a good day outing –

first walking the undeveloped beach

and then into the nature reserve and picnic!

I think this would be a awesome place for a family pcnic!

View of the marsh and channel along with some waterfront houses!

If we had not walked the beach – you would not known –

just how windy it was!

We could see waterfront houses across the channel and marsh!

It was a very nice walk – and we know that there is another nature walk

that we will someday explore!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World!

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!

FAMILY MEETS FRIENDS!
