On our third trip we finally made it to Munyon Island in John D. MacArthur State Park. Perfect weather and great water conditions.And James, my brother, made it with us - his first kayaking trip. (Check out this totally unrelated video James made - the music is his own - performed and produced - and he used public domain footage for the visuals.)
We went approached the island as we have in the past, saw a group of at least two manatees on the way out. We went around the north side and then entered the man made mangrove trail. Found a little place to "park" the 'yaks next to the walkway that connects the picnic pavilions. We hit the beach on the west side. It sits right across the water (intracoastal/Lake Worth lagoon) from a bunch of mansions in what I think is Riviera Beach. We sat there for a couple of hours watching the yachts and fishing boats go by. Owen had fun playing in the water, especially when the boats kicked up some waves.
After returning to shore, we made our way to the Dune Dog Cafe in Jupiter - our favorite post kayaking trip spot.
