I have canoed in the Okefenokee Swamp, and many times have played in the tidal marshes near home on the north coast of the Gulf of mexico, but the closest I have come to exploring Florida bay is looking out into it from Flamingo. It's very high on my list.
"DAY FIVE (goal -- Oyster Bay chickee to North River chickee via Whitewater Bay -- 12 miles): The wind was a beaut -- gusting to 30 knots, per NOAA, as I sailed from Oyster Bay across Whitewater Bay and up the North River. Whitewater Bay is wide and long-fetched and aptly named! With my batwing reefed down to a postage stamp, I zoomed across the Bay. Gray-green waves washed over the bow and broke on the splashboard. The windward ama smacked into wavetops and showered me with salt spray. Hazel bounced along, taking the pounding beautifully, and the batwing did us both proud. What a ride! I was grateful to have a sail -- I doubt if I could have muscled my way across the Bay if I'd had to paddle. "
