During the coronavirus outbreak with social distancing rules in effect and before everything was completely shut down here in SW Florida, I rented a kayak to get over to my favorite critter place, Bunche Beach. I followed all social distancing rules and spent a few hours on the water by myself looking for shells and anything else I could at the beach from the water. This is the first time I used my underwater camera so I could inspect these beautiful critters while leaving them undisturbed.
I have a new respect for boat captains who navigate these shallow waters and friends, before you buy a kayak please rent one for a few hours to see how you feel about it. I have been in the market for a kayak and now know what kind I definitely don't want to buy! Hope you enjoy my time on the water with me!
