the marina here at the park s 25 foot
slips for $26 a day a few 50 foot slips
for $52 and they also have more involves
out in largo sound for $18 a day all
come with full usage of the park
they have a lot of day visitors too and
it's $10 to use the boat ramp here if
you're not staying at the marina or
campsites they charge four dollars per
car that's if you're one person if you
two to eight people it's eight bucks and
then a couple dollars for each
additional passengers we've taken a day
it did rain earlier chase we've got the
extra boost but rain water but it kept
itself
[Music]
the marina was pretty light on overnight
guests so we get a chance to choose our
slab and as per usual when we're at a
marina we try to tuck ourselves away
from the more crowded areas for a bit
more privacy it usually means we're
farther away from the facilities but for
us it's worth it
if it is let's say they have scuba gear
[Music]
it's a real dive this is enough see him
safe zone
see anything you want tell us fight it
yeah so spot a drum even though he
doesn't have spice this is a way to if
you want the park all to yourself you
have to go on a walk in the rain we
thought we'd take a break from all the
mosquitoes and noseeums turns out they
bite and the rain too
glass bottom boat snorkeling tourists
kayaks oh we can't go there no wet
clothes so you can see they make a kayak
full of money every day we'll give them
some will support the fog they rent
paddle boards canoes and kayaks and a
double kayak is $17 an hour or if you
want to go a bit longer less than four
hours is $45 and over for is 55
they'll give you an app with a couple of
courses that you can choose from and we
took the more difficult one but I would
say that really pretty much anyone can
manage it maybe not kids in a single
kayak because there is some faster boat
traffic on that particular path there
were warned that boats will not slow
down for you so you need to get across
here pretty fast
[Music]
honestly I didn't think kayaking the
mangroves would be that interesting or
different from what we do on our own
boat the McGregor has such a shallow
draft we can get up close to a lot of
places but I could have spent all day
out there exploring it was so peaceful
and beautiful and it really has been one
of the most fun experiences we've had I
know it's not a crazy adventure but it's
really great and it's actually made us
consider getting our own kayak
[Music]
[Music]
their bonus
go back man's brain odd count one two
three
[Music]
nailed it
better hurry because you're not supposed
to feed the wildlife are you feeding the
noseeums yes
how many beaches have a cannon where
these functioning must be why else would
they be here look that up it's really
clear is pretty wonderful you can hear
in mosquitoes on film oh well then if
you're fine all right thank you hit hard
on the concrete
crocodilians neotec large animals such
as deer and humans
oh dammit we can't swim with them that
isn't that is an alligator the picture
is an alligator hey don't argue with the
park is an alligator you know now all
those specifications the differences
between a perfect island oh they're
usually bigger but look at this one is
it that might differentiate them too
I know you grew up with Gators but you
don't know I actually think I actually
caught one just like bathroom facilities
with showers and they have concessions
picnic areas we can also rent masks and
fins and other equipment that you can
use on there too beaches the beaches
have sand but they're more of that rocky
sand so make sure you bring something
comfortable to sit on then they have a
few areas that are kind of tucked away
beautiful rocks where you can spend some
time taking some pictures
it is a rat mouse hmm I think we got him
where is everybody
a ghost town she so just us in the rats
check that out
looks like she found the AC vent Kitty's
queenan's clean in the doctor fish
there's a quirk fish cleaning a doctor
fish he came up to London good clean
well that's very friendly of you well
that's what turtles do they go to the
reef and everybody cleans their shells
and then they go on their Western I'm
sorry
everybody wants a chance at the spa
never
[Music]
areas of these guys
manatee people of vanity out there maybe
see some dolphin probably dolphin will
be swim
last shot of the day
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we made our way down to Adams
Hut it's a man-made canal that was
started back in the 50s and took a
couple of decades to complete and it has
walls at a 15 feet high and they're made
of solid fossilized coral for beautiful
homes the line the canal it's about a
half a mile long and it connects largos
down to Blackwater Sound
[Music]
we cruise Blackwater Sound where there
are several hotels and restaurants lined
the waterfront and host an annual New
Year's Eve fireworks show you can choose
to watch it from the shore the
restaurants have parties dinners and
music but of course we wanted to watch
the fireworks from our boat we didn't
know exactly where to anchor to get the
best view and it turned out that barge
parked itself within swimming distance
to us which we decided later was a
little too close
[Applause]
[Music]
right
