We had a fantastic day on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River. Even paddling that river about 100 times I cannot remember a prettier day. The weather was awesome and some of the trees were putting on a colorful show. And, of course, the river was clear as can be and even held manatees for our viewing. We want to thank Brian Mortakis and John Hussey for sending in photos.
We put in at the Weeki Wachee River State Park canoe rental named Paddling Adventures. As usual, the folks there were wonderful and took great care of us.
Here is a photo looking down Brian and Sandy's kayaks at the put-in. And, no, I have no idea what Brian was doing on his knees just before or after taking this photo.
The photographers were having such a great paddle they must have forgotten to take photos on the river. Most of the photos are from lunch.
Here we see Lady D unpacking lunch from a kayak.
And then setting things out - just so. Or was that so-so?
I mentioned not having photos of the river itself. Heck, I think everyone must have been mighty hungry, because we again see a pile of boats that look like people were in a hurry and following each other much too closely.
It is a truly fine place for lunch as these photos attest.
Did someone say 2 manatees were swimming past?
By the way, Rogers Park now has a year-round $5 parking fee with a pay station installed.
