It's WINTER in South West Florida, and we felt that cold chill this morning as we began to prepare for a day on the water on Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP) and Kayaks!

It was 48 degrees on the beach when I first woke up but it quickly warmed as the sun came up and the breeze went away. Before the day was out we were nice and warm.

I had four folks join me for SUP and two for Kayak. We put in on a little cozy splash area between Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico where the wind was minimum but the water was cold. We spent just over 2 hours exploring the brackish water wildlife habitat and the shell covered beach area on the little secluded island just south of Ft. Myers Beach.

The birds were out in numbers enjoying the sunshine and we were able to stay away from the heavy winds that eventually created some turmoil on the water.

All in all our day was good, filled with fun and some adventure here and there, yet offering a wonderfully peaceful journey.

Thank you all who participated in this event! I appreciated having you with me. Enjoy the pics and the short little video and share them with your friends and family!

Gator D is headed out for another adventure on the water so I must say SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATORS!
