Nokomis Beach

On January 24 we were to meet Rich and Linda at Nokomis Beach. Since the Gulf was flat we decided to paddle to Venice Inlet and go out to the Gulf. We spend about 45 minutes paddling around before returning to the island just inside the inlet to eat our lunch.

Our lunch stop

After lunch we headed back to the launch area looking for the "kids". We met up with them and headed up the ICW to above the draw bridge and see if we could find "begger". "Begger" is a dolphin that is known to hang out above the bridge. We did catch several glimpses of him but he didn't approach our kayaks.
