Gators and Manatees in Florida Tuesday, November 18, 2008

We had a great premiere in Florida at Sweetwater Kayaks. Russell Farrow who is one of the owners of Sweetwater is also in a band called Sisemore, who played live at the premiere. I used one of their songs, Butterfly Breeze in the New Zealand documentary on "This is the Sea 4", and it was really moving to hear them play it live.

We've spend the last 2 days on 2 fantastic paddles. Alligators one day and manatees the next!! Both days were on rivers - the first on the Myakka river and today on the Weeke Watche. We also saw loads of birds and enjoyed the peacefulness of the wild places.
