CHRISTMAS PADDLE

12/25/2012

Today a group of us woke up early and paddled around Peanut Island. What a delightful paddle we had. Within 10 minutes we were greeted by 3 manatees, one swam beside us as we continued our paddle. About 15 minutes later we paddled by 2 more manatees (a mom with her young calf). Conditions could not have been better, light winds, sunshine and 80 degree temperatures.

Hello!
I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, so I grew up discovering all the beauty this area has to offer. For the past 6 years I have been paddle boarding areas from Stuart south to Delray. I first discovered paddle boarding in a magazine, years ago, and had to try it. I signed up for a lesson/tour and fell in love with the sport. The next day, I bought my first board. Every morning, weather permitting, I try to paddle. The reasons why I love paddling are because it’s very peaceful, a good workout, and because of the marine life I encounter. Depending on the time of year, I can see dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and rays all during the same paddle. You can see so much more from a paddle board because you are standing up looking down. It really is an awesome experience!!

EXPERIENCE. ENCOUNTER. ENJOY.
