Saturday the winds had calmed down enough and it had warmed up enough for us to go out kayaking on the ICW. We launched from the picnic area in the park so we didn't have to drive very far or haul the kayaks more than a few steps to the water. We decided to kayak towards Ormond Beach to the south, into the wind so we would have an easy return trip. Along the way we did not see any storm damage from the hurricane last fall, so we don't know if there was any or not. Maybe they are far enough away from the ocean side to have been protected from any major damage. For a Saturday, there was not a lot of boat traffic, but we did have a few big boats pass by. This was an easy kayak trip, very relaxing. We turned around when we got to a place where all you could see were a string of apartment buildings, and floated much of the way back to the park with the help of the wind.
