Key West Adventure-Mangrove Kayak
January 20 Mangrove Kayak (just phone pics) I booked a two hour kayak tour with Lazy Dog at Hurricane Hole on the Overseas Highway. The sunrise wasn't, so I was a bit worried about my kayak tour getting cancelled. It was raining then sprinkling then it cleared up. But it was still very gray. I took a Lyft to the Lazy Dog and met with Heather our eco-tour guide. She paddle boarded while we all kayaked. She briefed us on how to hold the paddles, and how to steer (some folks really needed the lessons-most were experienced kayakers) There was a manatee right near our launch but by the time the other people finished looking at it…it was gone. But I did see a Grey Heron as we started to paddle. The first thing Heather showed us was sea star. She gathered us all up near a patch of mangroves and lowered her net. She gently scooped up the sea star and handed the net around for everyone to check out the echinoderm. I saw a Great Blue Heron as we started to paddle away from the sea star....
