Yesterday was fabulous with everything in my favor. Today, not so much. I got on the water at the normal time before sunrise and the bungee holding stuff up on the inside of the kayak came untied and I had a bunch of stuff land on my legs. Back to the beach and ten minutes later I was back on the water. The first two hours were great with only a small tide against me. Here’s the sunrise and some early morning shots. 
I stopped at the Flagler Beach bridge to meet up with Susie. She’s a good friend from high school days that I have not seen since high school. We only spent a few minutes talking since I had a lot of miles to cover. Susie is going to drive up to St. Augustine tomorrow evening and will have dinner and some more time to catch up. It’s really nice meeting new and old friend on this adventure.
Ok, now for the rest of the day. I left Flagler beach at about 1030 and the currents were ripping and the wind had picked up big time. I had strong currents against me and head winds between 15 & 20 mph for the rest of the day. The tide did turn for the better about an hour before I landed. All together it was a little over 27 miles with a 2.8 mph moving average. And, I had to work hard just to get that. I’m bushed!!!
The GPS coordinates were not getting me to the right spot for my landing today. I was looking for Mellon Island. I may have paddled up to it but with the tide so low I would have had a muddy mess to deal with. I found another spot up the river a ways that worked out great. You can see the kayak way up the bank. My beach rollers paid off big time here as well. I’ll be doing a post on how I put them together soon. 
And will end the post with the setting sun. 
Happy Paddling and good night.
The beach rollers look like they have come in handy multiple times. I’m glad you gave me the other set…
I’m anxious to see how you put the beach rollers together. I’ve started my own but now I’ll wait to check your future post before I continue.
