I made pretty good time today. I had sixteen miles to do and was at the Spoil Island at noon. I had some pretty strong head winds all morning but also had the tide with me. I was ready to launch a little too early as it was still too dark. 
As soon as I could paddle safely I hit the water and got out to the Inlet for sunrise. 
Then headed north under the big bridge and got the sun between the supports ?. 
By this time the wind was picking up fast. I worked at staying close to the lee shore for a little protection but the ICW is very twisted in the area and it is running thru a wide marsh area so not much help. 
I had started out with my normal paddling clothes but as the wind got stronger I had to pull over and dig out my cold weather gear. I’ll start out with it on in the morning ?. The weather report says it will get down around 42 tonight.
I found the little island with no problem. It’s a pretty nice spot and even has a picnic table. Only issue is broken glass everywhere. Idiots with guns shooting bottles ?. 
This spot is the only dry area for many miles so it’s working out great. The marsh around the island is beautiful. 
I broke out the camp stove and had a good hot dinner. I’m in the tent now putting this post together. I’ll end as usual with some sunset shots. 
Happy Paddling
