Been Busy
Jacksonville is a cool area if you know where to go. One of my favorite areas to go explore is the roughly 36 square miles of tidal marshes north of Heckscher drive.
This is a tricky area for boating and even more challenging for a human powered vessel. Every day there is a tidal difference of about 7 feet- meaning that a 7 foot wall of water enters and leaves our river area twice a day. This translates to strong currents (which change every few hours) eddies, and changing topography.
One I paddled 13 miles around Fort George Island in the summer- It was hot as tits.
