Kayak Wilton Manors

Come work off some of that Thanksgiving day meal, as we kayak the 7-mile loop around the island city of Wilton Manors (Broward County, FL) which is completely surrounded by the city of Ft. Lauderdale.

Kayaks can be rented from a number of locations in the area. Atlantic Coast Kayaks is one company at the launch site for the trip (1/2 day rental is $40 and covers: kayak, paddle, and PFD). There is no fee for those bringing their own kayaks.

This trip was completed once before in May and it was quite a bit hotter then. But this time the temps should be cooler and more comfortable. It should be a great time to be on the water. The full trip is estimated at 4 very leisurely hours (9 AM - 1 PM); I am betting that it will not take us that long. 

Bring, at least, 1 liter of water, snacks to munch on, head cover, sunglasses, water shoes, towel, and a change of clothes (in case your kayak outfit gets wet). Pack sunscreen and insect repellent as a precaution, but I doubt these will be needed. Do bring a camera to capture of the beauty of the flora, fauna, and vistas.
