Our Location today is Crystal
River, Florida.
After such an Absolutely Wonderful Day swimming with the
Manatees yesterday, even after warm soup for supper and hot showers we were
still feeling chilled this morning. The one thing we had no problem with last
night was sleeping. With all the fresh air we were exposed to and the sheer
delight of interactions with the Gentle Giants of the sea just left us totally
exhausted and at peace for the night.
When I got out of bed at 7:15
this morning the temperature was already 43F (6C) meaning it was already warmer
then the high yesterday. After spending the morning reading and doing research
on the computers we thought about having our larger meal at lunch so I had to
go set up the barbecue. I grilled up a couple of nice Ham Steaks while Kathy
made two wonderful Omelets to go with them. It was like going to a diner but
better because it was more private and it gave us time to make plans.
We were still feeling tired from yesterday’s cold weather
and decided to relax the rest of today but we’d try kayaking around the Crystal
River area tomorrow. After lunch I went
outside to dig out our Sea-Eagle inflatable Kayak from the basement and put it
in the truck. Since moving into the apartment anything that we need to bring in
the trailer stays in the trailer and it only fits in one way.
Kathy’s shoulders were bothering her again this afternoon
but upon my encouragement came outside to sit in the 63F (17C) weather where
she felt some relief. There was no breeze and beautiful sunshine breaking
through the trees felt warming and comfortable. We had a chance to enjoy the
sounds of nature around us and being we are so far away from any highways
nature is all you can hear.

We managed to catch sight of a number of different birds but
were only successful at getting pictures of a Woodpecker that I have tried so
hard to photograph in the past and of course the squirrels.
For supper we kept it light and only had a bowl of soup
topped off with banana bread for dessert.

Hopefully we see the 70+F (21+C) temperatures predicted here
tomorrow and get another chance to enjoy time with the Manatees. Thanks for following
along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Relaxing is good, take it easy and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteTake it easy and warm up. All will be great soon.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye on those squirrels. Last summer we had some find their way though the smallest spots under our 5th. They were nesting in there and made a hell of a mess. Ate some wires, deposited a ton of pine cones and squirrel poop. We had to tear out all the insulation from the belly of the trailer and spent a ton of money on repairs. They are not so cute anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe love days like you had. Have you used your inflatable kayak much? We bought an Innova Inflatable kayak we got last fall at L.L. Bean. We haven't used it yet.
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to see young couples RVing.
