We decided to try a new launch site that is in the Sarasota County Blue way's trails book. We got there and it was a long walk to the canoe/kayak launch and then there was a large mud flat before we reached the water. Also the wind was blowing pretty good and it was still cool. So we found another launch site in the book. We ended up at the end of the road and in a private yard. No launch there. So we headed back to the main road and went to Aingler Park. This is a pay to park boat launch/park along the river. We put in and headed up river for a good distance. While we were paddling along my cell rang in my dry bag. Damn. Thinking it was son James to report on his surgery I fumbled for the phone and answered. It was Ann, they had arrived at Sanford Lane and she was just checking in. After we talked with her we decided to head back to the launch site and have lunch and then to head for the ICW, down river about half mile.
We had a nice paddle up the bay and another river/creek. The tide had turned and the current was pretty good going up stream. When we turned to head back we did get a good push in unexpected directions when we approached the bridge.
As we neared the launch the cell rang again. This time it was James reporting that his operation had went fine and he was doing well. Good news.
