Put in and take out by Old Oystet Factory
Hurricane Irma hit Florida and a lot of the eastern shore. Our condo was closed and we didn't think we'd be able to go. I even called RCI asking if they could let some of the displaced people stay in our unit since the island was closed to outsiders. That wasn't possible and the person said she'd never been asked that before. Anyway, the day before we were to leave, we got a call saying the resort was open and so we drove over. That night we checked into a beautiful unit and walked across the street to the Sea Shack restaurant. A lot of the locals go here, and apparently there is always a line, except for tonight - after a hurricane. The dinner was fantastic!!
There's a very nice ramp my old oyster factory a long gravel road. This was I put in and I put out for the day. We paddled against the current and into the wind up towards the bridge. It was tough paddling but we managed to go 2.2 miles passed by marshes and some interesting looking plants grey cactus looking plants. But as we have a long Scotty went over to touch one of the plants discovered that they were in fact oyster shells. We were surrounded by dried up Mac covered oyster beds. The homes among the river were huge and then he had a company huge pants.and we actually discovered when we got back that we had passed by the Disney vacation club. We found a gravel bar and stopped for peanut butter sandwiches. We paddled just a bit farther before turning around. The way back was wonderful and much easier paddle with the wind behind us and going with the cart. It was also fun to see the seagulls floating beside us also enjoying the ride.
