Kayak Trip with Els, Theresa and Lauren

The beginning of the kayak adventure!!
Miss Lauren (7 yrs old)



Theresa found a conch - but didn't like holding it!!
You can tell from her face!
We were gonna keep it but decided not to.

The Admiral's house at the end of our street.

We are IN the inlet here - looking out towards the Bay.

The madness begins!!

Ellen, Theresa and Lauren holding up HUMONGO starfish.

SoOoOoO pretty - both of them!!

Putting them back......they float for a long while, then fill
up with water and sink eventually!!  I read somewhere that
they use water as their "blood" for the circulatory system.

Ooooops - we got carried away!! 19 in all!! :)

Everyone wanted to pose with the starfish!!

Biding their time - waiting to sink!

Uh oh - we started having troubles!!  Theresa and Lauren's double
kayak started filling with water....they tried to dump it and start over....

"Help" and "Im hungry", Lauren kept saying!!!

Sean to the rescue!! (I call Port Ops and reported a problem,
but MWR jumped in on the conversation and said they would
come save us!!)

Sean starts reeling them in!!

I kayaked back to the marina and beat the pontoon boat -
they didn't hurry - and they FOUND Ellen's sandal that she had
lost in the "quicksand muck"!!! HURRRRRAYYYY!!

Kayaks behind the pontoon boat!!

Lauren is a happy camper now!!  and McDonald's has
been promised to her - we were all starving and  HOT!

Back at the Marina where we got a group picture!!
