9hr. 30 mile shakedown paddle for Everglades Challenge
I did a shakedown paddle to test me endurance and my equipment during a long day/night paddle. I experienced rain, strong winds, mild waves and cold temperatures over a nine hour period. I learned a lot about how quickly my body starts to shiver once I stop working in the damp cold clothing. I will modify my gear slightly before doing the next shakedown paddle. all in all it was a good test and I am currently confident that I can at least make Checkpoint one at Cape Haze during the Everglades Challenge.

Kayaking the entire Sunshine Skyway Bridge
Просмотров 525Месяц назад
I decided to test my growing skills by crossing Tampa Bay and figured I would make it fun and do it under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. the weather was perfect, the water was as calm as it could be for the bridge, and the kayak was mostly loaded with the Everglades Challenge gear set up. I think the weight of the gear acts as ballast as it's easy to paddle loaded up vs empty. I was a little intim...
Solo Kayak Camping: Crystal River run to Shell Island
Просмотров 960Месяц назад
for this trip, I put in at Fort Island Trail Park and headed up to 3 Sisters Spring to paddle all of the Crystal River in Crystal River Florida. It was perfect weather and felt great to get back into the Current Designs Sirocco Kayak again. The paddling was fantastic, and the views were incredible, especially the sunset that gave so many different colors ranging from pink to bright orange. spea...
Attempting to fish at Cypress Glen Campground, Silver Lake FL
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
I was gifted some fishing gear and given some knowledge of how to use it last week and I decided to give it a try and experience a new campground at Silver Lake in Brooksville Florida. I've been to this lake on the Withlacoochee River, but just not this particular campground, and not this particular section of the river. It was a blast being out there for two days and I got to camp in weather d...
Solo kayak camping Gum Slough
Просмотров 860Месяц назад
I finally made it to Gum Slough, and I can't believe how awesome of a trip it was! I've done a lot of kayaking in the Florida Springs, but this one was its own experience for sure. It was wild and unpredictable, with easy parts to paddle and physically challenging parts to navigate. There are several "choose your own adventure" style pathways through the Slough and each one will give you a diff...
Mutual Mine Campground: kayaking, night hiking, a new game
Просмотров 569Месяц назад
while checking out the Turner Camp Boat Ramp for a future trip down Gum Slough, my dad and I drove past Mutual Mine Campground. since the Withlacoochee River is still flooded, I decided to postpone the Gum Slough trip for a week and check out the Mutual Mine Campground. It was a pretty fun trip where I did a little kayaking in the mine, fished and did some night hiking. When my dad and Stepmom ...
Kayak Camping: Brasher Park to Durney Key
Просмотров 7422 месяца назад
I heard about a relatively local spot that I haven't heard of before. I actually anchored my Windrider 17 near Durney Key last year in the dark and didn't even know it was there, it's that small of an island. If you're not familiar, Durney Key is located just about a mile west of Brasher Park in Port Ritchie Florida on the Gulf Coast (Not too far north of Tampa/Saint Petersburg area). Don't let...

I was invited to join my new friend Jon on his Compac 17' Sailboat for a quick sailing trip and to meet up with some folks from the West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron (Florida). Our trip was from Safe Harbor Pineland marina on Pine Island, Florida and we sailed over to Cayo Costa State Park. We even made a little detour to Cabbage Key for a late lunch and got lot's of sailing in when the winds...
Solo Kayak Camping: Crooked Creek Chickee via Turner River
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.2 месяца назад
I took a little solo kayaking camping trip through the Turner River mangrove tunnels in Big Cyprus National Park, Everglades Florida. I camped on the Crooked Creek Chickee (a 12.5-mile paddle from the Turner River Canoe Launch) which was a cool experience, but the gnats were horrible at the Chickee. So bad that they either took away, or added to the adventure, I'm not sure which :). It was a be...
Withlacoochee River: Silver Lake to Hog Island, Flood of Oct. 2024
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.2 месяца назад
Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton flooded out most of the rivers around Central Florida (pretty much all of Florida) and I finally was able to get out on the Withlacoochee river. It was technically still closed, but I did a section that I had done before and know well enough to be safe on it. I reserved a campsite at Silver Lake and launched my kayak right from camp into the lake. it was pr...
Tooke Lake Take 2: Comparing water levels and sailing in stiff winds
Просмотров 5133 месяца назад
Tooke Lake in Weeki Wachee Florida has gone through some big changes this year. This video compiles footage from when the lake was at very low levels compared to now, after hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton brought lots of rain. The water levels are back up to where they should be and the comparison between then and now is pretty dramatic. I also decided to take the Current Designs kayak ou...
Caladesi island exploring and kayaking at night
Просмотров 5843 месяца назад
I set out to make a long video of a sunset on a beach. I had it all planned out, brought both of my cameras to the Dunedin causeway (just north of Clearwater Florida and south of Tarpon Springs) and set forth on a quick 4-mile paddle to the southern tip of the Caladesi island state park. I set everything up, made a wind block (so I only got the sound of the waves) and pushed record. Watch this ...
Cumberland Island Part 1: Kicked off the island
Просмотров 7013 месяца назад
This is titled "Part 1" because I wasn't able to experience the whole trip after being told I had to leave early for the Hurricane Helene evacuation. I missed out on getting to tour of the Plum Orchard mansion as well as hiking down to Dungeness Mansion which I really wanted to see. I was lucky enough to see the wild horses though and I had a great solo kayaking trip over to Cumberland Island f...
Exploring Abandoned Fort Dade / Falcon Sails Kayak Upgrade
Просмотров 7464 месяца назад
Falcon Sails was kind enough to give me a sail kit for my wilderness systems Typhoon 140 kayak and it worked out great. It was another easy install, and the kayak sailed great as expected. With it, I finally got over to Egmont Key :) I had tried during my previous Fort Desoto trip but was bested by the weather. It had been about 5 years since I had been to Egmont Key State Park and it did not d...
