I wanted to do a quick paddle before the weather would change and use some gear because of an upcoming multi day paddle on the Withlacoochee River with Paddle Florida.

I went through the hole in the mangrove across from my house and headed to Gulf City and Little Cockroach Bay.

I got into Little Cockroach Bay and it could be the Everglades or the Keys.

I am so enamoured with the pelicans.

I was trying to decide which way to go Cockroach Bay or out to Tampa Bay as I paddled. A few hundred yards from Tampa Bay, I look over at St. Pete and it’s grey and the wind picks up. I realized when I heard the thunder it was time to come home.

More paddling later. Peace out. Tres dog
Way to go Tres.
great adventure…………………plans are to visit Blue Springs before heading to Ohio in March
Cool
Looks like a wonderful time on the water
Great little paddle. Mr. G would be glad to know you “listened” to the weather science.
