Kayaking - Chasing Dolphins at Mackays Creek
Mackays Creek 2.8 miles 1172.9 total
Avg 2.3 mh, max 8.5
1 hour 14 minutes moving time
Temp started at 77, rose to 87
Put in at C.c. Haig Boat Ramp
We put in at the boat ramp at Mackays Creek and paddled towards Pinckney Wildlife Refuge. We had the wind against us and we were paddling into the current. After five minutes I was done ha ha. Scotty wouldn't let me so we paddled Past the marshland. Like the past two days we saw lots of oyster shells in front of the grass. This time we paddled up closer to the grass and made a video recording of the popping noises. We got home later in research this to find out the noises were caused by snapping shrimp. They have 1 claw bigger than another and somehow snap their claw. The shrimp are about an inch long and the noises they make are unbelievably loud for such a small size. The water is murky and so it's hard to see Fish although Scotty did say he said one large jellyfish., and plenty of little white birds in the marshes. We passed several motor boats on this creek and one loan kayaker which was way across the creek. After about an hour of paddling we turned around and Scotty yelled dolphin. I had really hoped that we would see dolphins well look kayaking my wish was granted. We spent about 15 minutes chasing the Dolphins as they were chasing the fish underneath the water. We took lots and lots of pictures and got about three fuzzy pictures. We finally headed back to the boat ramp deciding it was a good way to end our kayaking adventure in Hilton head.
