On several different vacations, we have talked about and even tried to go kayaking but it hasn't ever worked out. Well, at the beginning of October, we took a vacation to Florida and finally got to go kayaking. We started from the Cocoa Beach Country Club and toured around some of the smaller islands and canals on the Indian River side of the big island that Cocoa Beach sits on. Stacy's brother, John, and his wife, Mary, came along. We all had a great time paddling around seeing nature. We saw lots of different types of birds, a dolphin and the coolest thing of all, manatee.The manatee were extremely friendly and would even push your kayak around. As you can see in the pictures, they were very close. You just wanted to reach out and pet them, which we couldn't do since they are an endangered species.
