This was our last park stop before the FMCA Rally. The park is a series of islands or "keys" as they are called in Florida. The camping area is very nice and the spaces are quite wide and long. We were able to get the RV in and out pretty easily.
The first evening it was very clear so we went out on one of the fishing piers to watch the sunset. They keep the piers open after dark for fishing but the rest of 
the park is closed. Before it got very dark, we went by the kayak and canoe rental area to check out the ease of launching our own. A park ranger came by when we were leaving to see what we were up to. Guess we made him nervous.
The next day we went to the far end of the park to walk the nature trail. This was to let the day warm up a bit before we went kayaking. It was a bit disappointing because there were no animals or birds to be seen. We cut it short and went back to the picnic area for lunch. At least we did see some birds there as well as some noisy fishermen.
So, we went to launch into the bay. It was still a quit cool and breezy but the sun was bright and warm. We saw a woman with a small dog with a PFD on. Ellyn chased her down for a picture and chatted with her for a while. The woman also took our picture before we parted ways. At one point we saw some other kayakers watching an area of the bay intently. When we got close, several dolphins broke the surface. We had not expected that. One of the kayakers told us they had also seen a manatee in there before.
We finished up, went back to the RV for a nap, and then out to dinner. It was Super Bowl Sunday and we were close to Tampa. Little traffic at that time. We tried to go to a Japanese restaurant but it was closed. We did find another place open but we were the only customers and the sushi chefs were watching the game.
