Florida 1-6-08

I woke up at 9:30am and got my mom movin' so we could go in the sit-on-top kayak on the inter-coastal. We saw some great blue herons, pelicans, cormorans, and seagulls. We also saw a fish that looked like he was trying to fly: he jumped out of the water 5 or 6 times in a line. I think he may have been chased by a bigger, hungrier fish. Then we went to the Blowing Rocks Nature Conservancy, except it was low tide, so we didn't walk by the blowing rocks. It was really lovely when we got there, but after awhile a big squall came and we got soaking wet. It cleared up a little, but we got rained on a couple more times. Right before we turned around we found a 4 foot long dead shark. I dunno why he died. The water was such a pretty turquoise color by the beach, and darker further out. It was sooo pretty with the stormy clouds on the horizon. After dinner we went for a walk to the Admirals Cove pool to check the temperature. It is much warmer and more humid since we first got here. I hope I have time to swim in the pool tomorrow.
