Exploring new territory is always fun. I am a map/chart lover. I spend many hours looking at charts and plotting new courses. The paddle board allows me to travel to places few people travel. There is remote and then there is paddle board remote. The area I was in had restrictions on shelling. However the views were astounding. I took many photographs off of the paddle board in many unique places. My old friend the frigate bird flew over as I explored. I had fun exploring the back country of the upper Florida Keys, but always thinking of the beaches that are to the north where I had traveled just a few years ago. The Ten Thousand Islands. I look forward to taking the paddle board to some of my favorite spots in that remote region in the next three months.

Amazing!! Off the beaten path! What kind of shelling restrictions do they have? Such a beautiful area!
Wow Brian. Looks like it's just you and the sun, sea and sand. And it just happens to be beautiful! The water color and clarity is fabulous. I imagine it would be soul soothing!!
That friggin frigate was stalking you again. The water looks spectacular. Hope you enjoyed your getaway.
That looked beautiful. I've never been to the Keys. It always makes me laugh when you mention the frigate birds and I remember the time I thought you called them "those friggin'" birds. LOL!
The restrictions are you can't take any Queen conch.
