We took a two hour drive down to Tarpon Springs to meet some of our friends in that area.  On the way we stopped at the Chassahowitzka river.  The spelling is difficult and complicated. But the simple beauty of this tranquil spring-fed run with its overarching trees, numerous and friendly wildlife and quiet setting invites one to spend endless hours paddling and contemplating the natural beauty.  Unfortunately, we only had a few minutes.




The rest of the day we spent with Dan McCluskey an old friend of mine and Jim and Jan Leet proprietors of Marine Concepts and also dear friends. We finally made it back at 11 PM.
For better or for worse, a kind of relaxation has come upon me that seems to sap all my creative energies with regard to blogging.  Hence the paucity of prose. Shall I say, more when I feel like it...
