They seem to really like anything white and lights at night.

This is the time of year for these tiny flying bugs. I think it is what the Marsh Wrens were eating. They also provided a little extra protein in my breakfast.

The raised area behind the pole and the piece in the lower right in front of the dry bamboo is peat. It can brake away from the bottom and float up forming a small island. Never seen this in more than about 10ft of water.

Down the beach I met this couple. They were 15 miles in the opposite direction from where they thought they were. It all looks alike.

You can just make out the Marsh Wren near the center. These guys would not sit still for a picture.

Okay, the water is brownish green, and the sand is not white, but there is bamboo and it is out of the wind.

The water is warm - just step off the swim step and two steps to the beach.

For my last night I selected a tropical looking beach on the South East side of Frank's Tract.

Most of the wind passes over the top but some gusts would cause some tugging on the dock lines. The poor tent campers got the full force.

The docks are not the best but a nice family park. You can stay the night and use the showers. Another place to stay out of the wind.

He only opens it enough for your boat to slip around the end at an angle. I think I gave him his exercise for the day - mostly bass boats through here.

Not much traffic so this bridge is mostly manual. The tender had to walk to both ends and close the gates. Then walk to the shed in the center and operate the motor to open.
