Morning Kayak trip

We slept well (and cool) last night.  We were able to turn off the a/c and sleep with the windows open. 

When we woke up this morning, the gulf was flat calm with very little breeze, so we decided to take a morning kayak paddle. The water is pretty clear and with no wave action you can see the bottom easily (Al thinks if he can see the fish, he may be able to catch one )  

Al saw a few dolphins swimming around this morning, which is unusual because the water is so shallow.  It’s high tide now, so I guess they were able to get in closer.

Here are a few sunset photos from last night.

We took 7pm kayak paddle last night before the sun set.  The water was very warm, and it was wonderful, paddling around with the paddles splashing warm water on my legs!   We hadn’t paddled in warm water for a while and it was a nice change. 

We came back, cooked some burgers on the grill and I fried some of our Yukon Gold potatoes that I had brought for our garden.  Yummy.

I’ll post some photos of the morning kayak trip later.

Cool Morning Breezes

We were finally able to turn off the a/c last night and get some cooler breezes into the motorhome.   We just hate having to close all the windows and run the noisy a/c all the time, especially here at the beach.  Yesterday was just so hot and humid that even with the seabreeze, it was still miserable.

We slept with the windows open but I almost turned the a/c back on a few times.  It wasn’t quite as cool as we would have liked it. 

This morning it’s still cool and there are nice ocean breezes coming into the motorhome.  The kitties are all enjoying the nice breeze and watching the seagulls and Pelicans.

Al went for a sunset kayak paddle last night.  There were some storm clouds on the horizon, but we didn’t see any lightning.

I was able to get a few sunset photos, but there was a layer of clouds blocking the final sun setting into the water.  It was still very pretty .

On the picture below, if you look real closely, you can see Al in his kayak.  He’s in the middle of the frame right below the horizon.  It looks like he’s a long way out, which he is, but the water is probably 3 feet deep!

We haven’t decided what we will do today.  Right now we’re just enjoying the cool air and beautiful view, while drinking our coffee and watching Fox News.  It’s nice to camp with all the comforts of home :)
