Day 1
We got off to a rough start when an unloading error caused my uncle’s kayak to almost crack in half. My Dad and I rushed into town to rent a new kayak and my uncle did his best to not rage quit the trip right then and there. With a new kayak acquired we loaded up and set out across the bay toward the Gulf.
The sun beat down hard as we paddled in and out of mangroves and skirted the Gulfs mighty tides. Occasionally we stopped along a beach to drink a beer and catch our breath before pushing ahead. My 82 year old grandfather paddled a long at the same pace as myself for most of the 9 miles and only slowed down near the very end.
