Not a difficult paddle, but east to get temporarily misoriented (lost?) iof you don't pay attention. The area is crisscrossed with channels and tunnels and bays that tend to look alike after a while. If you do get misori...

May is Paddle Your Cares Away Month on the Paradise Coast Blueway, and we kicked it off with a fantastic trip to Paddlecraft Park. Just a heads-up for anyone planning a visit: The park sign lists hours from dawn to Ma...
This is the same nest we approached from Rookery Bay last Wednesday, but we saw a juvenile eagle testing its wings this time. The juveniles are just as big but don't have the white head that adults do. He was perched on ...
We visited the Eagle's nest on 13 Feb 2021 and took pictures, which were posted on this site. When we visited the nest on 12 Jun 2021, it was gone. The whole tree was gone after a storm. We went back today to see if the ...
If you open the track on the aerial to the whole screen, you'll see a cut (pass) at the NW corner of McIlvane Bay that opens to a large body of water. It's a while since we were back there, so we decided to look. The ...
We paddled to the east end of McIlvane Bay at low tide. The east end was a muck bottom, and we went in a little too far and practically had to dredge our way back out with our paddles. Straight, open water paddle for the...
We paddled out to Sea Oat Island (between Keywaydin and Cannon Island) to check out possible campsites for paddlers making the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trail. Neat area - it was full moon low tide-Beaver Moon ...

Our pre-dawn paddle at Paddlecraft Park was a tranquil experience under a half-moon veiled by clouds. A gentle southerly breeze nudged us as the falling tide emptied McIlvane Bay, a shallow haven fringed with mangroves. ...
Near the eagle's nest, we discovered a Cassiopeia Andromeda mud flat. The upside-down jellyfish lives in intertidal sand or mudflats, shallow lagoons, and around mangroves covering the bottom of the small area we paddled...
The forecast was for wind, so we went somewhere we could stay in the lee of trees if we had to, and we hadn't been to Paddlecraft Park since mid-January because of the crowds. Tide was coming in, so no worries about bott...
