"Where the hell is Chassahowitza ?"or that’s what the t-shirt says. My brother and I spent a couple of days there in a dump but it was close to the ramp. And there were a couple of manatee families close by.

What do you mean “shades of green”? Looks like an optical illusion to me.

So, I’m relatively new to the sport, but I can’t resist. I need to get in on this.

Faerie ferns within the pot rocks,
Bluebeard’s braided up the chin locks,
meanders rippling in a mushroomed ponder guess,

pretty pictures we might paddle
stir the mind from staleness addle,
or is this thirteenth dream of Doc Sardonicus?
(Jay and Randy and John Locke might know this best)

Would cadaverous witch
scratching into sky
pierce through the pines
to catch one’s eye

making rocky point
there’s navigational aid
midst a birch triad
of the ghostly staid?

Lila,
Indeed it is. Crazy with bees who are too happy with their work to be bothered by paddlers.

I want to get out there soon to check out the monkeys. I think we’ll start at the park and go downstream though. Paddling our old canoe in that current would be too much for us.

Lila, I have a problem with British style boats. They are just too pretty. Further, no matter how functional, I find rudders unattractive and much prefer a skeg, making me lean even further toward Brit kayaks.
