Randy finally got to visit the second canal on Tarpon Belly Key when Kat was visiting. We took the 2 smaller kayaks with us on the boat. It was a tight fit but we all squeezed in.
Randy and Kat kayaked around the entire Key. They could not get into the second canal from the South end because the concrete beams are still standing. This is different than the first canal where all of the beams are collapsed and under the water. With the high tide they could not get under the beams so chose to circle the island. There were hundreds of cassiopeia jellyfish and several rays at the flat near this part of the canal. Even through the north end of the canal was open they chose not to enter this canal because of the strong current. I think Randy’s shoulders were getting tired and he really needs a bigger kayak! They did enter the first canal to arrive back to their starting point.
