Kayaking in the Winter

Florida, I have to admit, is quite the place to live. Well, I might just be a tad biased considering that this winter is giving most of the country nothing but blizzards and freezing temperatures from coast to coast. Today I headed out from university early[ref]It is a Friday after all…[/ref] to make full use of the day’s sunny weather and took my Oru kayak out for a dip.

Just west of the city is a large lake, Lake Talquin, and I decided to checkout the transition zone between the lake and the Ochlockonee River that feeds it (Google Map). I had never been to this area before, but it reminded me much of the area north of Tallahassee where I went biking last weekend–except for there being more boats this time. I will definitely be coming back this way in the future.

And here are a couple requisite photos of the outing.
