1) Launch site beach with RVs in the background and a barely visible kayak on the beach.

2) Headed up the Apalachee River with a couple of Coot leading the way.

3) Doing a loop around the Causeway to the Battleship and back requires some navigation under the concrete jungle.

4) A commotion of coot with the Mobile Skyline in the background. For more info on Coot which are wintering in this area, click here.

5) The kayak is almost as big as the battleship USS Alabama.

6) Another shot of the battleship.

7) On the return trip, a head bobbing up and down caught my eye. A bird was eating a bird.

8) On the return trip, waters on Bay John were a bit choppy. Had to wear the spray skirt. Meaher Park campground is barely visible on the horizon.
