A dozen of us chose to spend part of Sunday on the water, paddling over to Shell Key. Great introduction to West Florida bays, mangroves, and barrier island beaches. Plus a little exercise and a lot of sun. Mangroves are pretty primordial - one expects large reptiles (fortunately, alligators stick to fresh water) and foot-long dragonflies. What we saw were birds (ibis) and little black crabs that climb the trees and threaten to drop in your lap (but didn't).
I had never seen a watermelon split with a kayak paddle before, either.
