NE Florida Paddle at The Ichetuknee River

Hooked up with my brother Keith to paddle some fresh water springs  NE of Gainesville Fl. 
The Ichetuknee River and Ginnie Springs 
Great couple days paddling through these clear water springs and rivers. Manatees and divers exploring 
the deep water holes. Old Florida is beautiful with the cypress and longleaf 
pine forests. You can imagine what it was like to paddle down these rivers like the Native Americans did centuries ago. A walk back in time.  Wonderful state park to explore and reset.
Check out the Florida state park system.

Late Nov. Surf

Able to snag a few wave just before thanksgiving. 
Humbled and grateful I can still surf at 59 years of age.
