The mangroves of Sanibel are so amazing. Barrier islands protect the mainland from storm damage and the estuaries provide sites for maturing fish and crustaceans. The water is usually murky due to the transitional nature of coastal wetlands: silt from the mainland mixes with the saltwater. The resulting high nutrient load is what lead to the biological productivity of the area.

Speaking of murky water and transitional aquatic zones, how many of you know that the bull shark can move into rivers, and has been found as far north as Memphis, TN?

Well, I got to paddle through those mangroves a week later with Pat and Lizbeth. Yes Connie, there were times I thought I heard the music..... Just kiddin too.

They were awesome, and it was one of my best memories of my Florida trip. It was my first time, yes, I was a Kyack virgin.. or how ever you spell that word.

Love the kayaking pics! Sanibel is the best....especially kayak fishing in Tarpon Bay (Ding Darling park)!
I just had an uncontrolable urge to tip over Donnie & Jamesie's kayak!!

some of the best times in Florida is kayakin down some lazy creek or river with a cooler full of beer or drink of choice (orange juice and champagne mmmmm).

Mandy · « **Reply #13 on:** Monday 2 March 2009, 12:35 »

We do this once a year up our way. It's called the Black Creek Canoe Race, though it's not really a race. A few dozen people in kayaks and canoes w/ coolers of beer paddling down the river. The "race" ends at my friends cabin (which really isn't a cabin

) and we party into the wee hours of the morning, usually camping out. It's one hell of a good time.

Cindy really paddling was one of yer best memories of our Florida trip ??? I dont know how you can choose. All of the trip was great.... well mostly (didnt care for the 2 guys at the clothing optional bar in keywest). I cant choose between them all.... Hangin w/ SJ and Sue, Hanging with Pat and Pappy(including the paddle), staying out til 4:30 am on Duval street, Deep sea fishing with John the local we met(even thou I fed the fishys 4 times), Partying in Gainsville, etc etc. Ah Memories! I think I need another trip to FL.

Because I didn't meet you until, what? October?

Black Creek is always the last Saturday of June. If you want to skip Fling we could go.

You all need to do the bar crawl/ t shirt signed in Annapolis....

T-shirt has about 20 to 24 bars logo's on it....

MacMutt · « **Reply #28 on:** Friday 6 March 2009, 07:50 »

lol the thought just crossed my mind that you couldnt fit a pub crawl, over here, on one tshirt! >snort<

CindyBug · « **Reply #29 on:** Saturday 7 March 2009, 01:21 »

Yep Lizbeth. It is right up there with the dancing, partying, boating, pubcrawling. ect.

I wish we had known about the tee shirt thing for sure. Now we know. Ok, next January we will re do this thing and do it right,, with tee shirt.
