Descripció de l'itinerari
We launched at NWR 1 (25°58'35.5"N 81°33'23.7"W), retracing an earlier paddle we did on July 17, 2024. A waxing crescent moon was moving toward the horizon, less than a palm's width above us.
In the sky, Jupiter and Venus were visible along the ecliptic--the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun, while a sky full of bright stars surrounded the Pleiades star cluster. The crescent moon was positioned to the left of the star Spica.
Both trips were successful and scenic, but they differed significantly in their navigational challenges and highlights. Today's paddle was marked by a more complex route that required more effort to follow because the mangroves are forming a resilient monoculture that will make this track impassable within a year or two. Despite the challenges, the conditions were superb, with a slight overcast and a north wind. The marsh is filled with rainwater, having a specific gravity of 1.000 and a temperature of 74°F.
