Today, we unpacked, scoped out our surroundings, and are currently preparing our rods and spinner reels for kayak fishing. My rod is "purdy" it is bright blue and its called a Firebird. Not sure why I have one as I much prefer to chill in the kayak and catch Vitamin D. He is the planner, fixer-upper, I just point the direction.. Well I was allowed to take the fishing line off of my reel as it was not the appropriate weight limit for the fish that he plans on me catching. This place is very laid back. We are planning on going over to Cumberland aboard the ferry tomorrow or Friday, then heading to St Augustine for a night to see the big world. I have attached a pic of the new and completely outfitted "Kandy the Kayak", I chose orange not because of my allegiance to Clemson but it is the closest color to what the Coast Guard uses and I thought should I ever be out alone or the one responsible for paddling they would be more apt to notice their own color and thus rescue "Kandy".
Bella has adjusted well to our fisherman cottage and has been made very aware of the predators of the marsh-"cats with claws and big teeth". The main house is owned by a handsome Portugese Water Dog named Eli who she enjoyed a wrestle with during morning coffee. He has reported spotting a 10 foot alligator that he wants Bella to stay away from as he says "she gives new meaning to a Scooby Snak....The main house and cottage that we are inhabiting were build in the late 1800's so is as quaint as the town itself. Sitting on the front porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and smelling the air, watching the ferry go over to Cumberland Island or the sail boats going out at the same times the Ibis from the rookery about a mile away flock out by the 1,000's, or watching the wood storks walk up the street or the otters play in the marsh creek at the end of the street. Of course, watching all of the above return in the evening on the same porch is just as lovely with a glass of wine. There is much time to watch, reflect and breathe.
