A Trip on the Intracoastal Waterway

Today we went out on the Intracoastal Waterway near New Smyrna Beach with Tom and Michele. It was a perfect day. There was not a cloud in the sky and the temperature hovered in the lower 70s. Tom has a small skiff boat he uses for fishing. It is perfect for calm intracoastal  waters, but I would not want to be in it on the ocean. It was a bit chilly on the water. I wore jeans, a short sleeved shirt, a long sleeved shirt, a hat, a scarf and a jacket with a hood and I was still cold!

We saw dolphins, all kinds of birds - including white pelicans, beautiful homes, and large yachts. Can you see the dolphins in this video?

We docked the boat and had lunch at a restaurant on the waterway. It was good to warm up in the sun!

Next, we drove to Disappearing Island and once again docked the boat. Tom threw in a fishing line as the rest of us walked around. The sand was loaded with jellyfish that had washed ashore. We sat in the sun for a while thinking about the snow everyone was getting in Akron.

Someone even dozed off for a few minutes. Too funny!

Not a bad day for a group of old retired people. I am so grateful to Tom and Michele for giving us these experiences.
