We took a leisurely 7-mile paddle through the mangrove channels north of Pennekamp State Park this afternoon. We put in off Garden Cove Road at a spot recommended in Bill Keogh's "The Florida Keys Paddling Guide" and paddled in and around North Sound Creek. About the only wildlife we saw was large fish in some of the deeper channels. The water was too deep for wading birds. But we enjoyed the explore.
We drove down to Islamorada to have dinner at the Islamorada Fish Company. Since I haven't gotten any pictures of pelicans, I took advantage of the large numbers that hang out on the docks near the restaurant and fish market.
(Note for next time. The setting of the Islamorada Fish Company is as nice as we remembered, but I actually preferred the fish sandwich I got at Sundowners in Key Largo.)
