Monday 26th December – Boxing day kayaking


That darn propane alarm kept going off again last night so we both had a disturbed night’s sleep which means that we subsequently both slept late.  Adamant that we have to do something to prevent this reoccurring I studied our manual and took a look at the fuse box.  The manual warned that you can’t just disable the alarm without it causing other parts of the RV not to work.  This morning we discovered that when you remove the fuse that disables the alarm the only thing that it affects is the power to the slide out. We can cope with that.  Now all we need to do is make sure the fuse is in when we need to move the slide out and we won’t have to worry about the alarm.  Sorted.

So, later than hoped we drove the RV down to the boat ramp to take the kayak out into the mangroves.  The tide was against us so it was quite hard work but we persevered wanting to make it to the bay where we thought there may be dolphins.  But no, it was too shallow in ‘Mud bay’ for much life.  Apart from seeing a couple of mangrove crabs we didn’t see much life in the two hours we were paddling.

Running late to call Simon’s family who were all together for boxing day we drove the RV straight to Gators’ crossing again to make the call.

We had a relaxed dinner and another fire to enjoy the evening outside.  Because of our late morning we had missed seeing Steve and Barbara before they left the park today.  However, they had left us a lovely note with their contact details in Sarasota in the hope that we may meet up on our way past later in the week.
