Riviera Beach CRA Boating Program 3/10/12

This past weekend we went kayaking again with our students from Riviera Beach.  We all met at the Riviera Beach Marina at 1:00pm and went through our kayak and water safety lesson before heading over to Peanut Island.  Last weekend the students practiced and became familiar with the kayaks around the beach at the Marina.  We set out as a group the cross the intracoastal, and everyone did extremely well.  Despite the current trying to push us south, everyone made it over to the Island in less than 10 minutes.  Once over to the island, we spent a bunch of time swimming in the Intracoastal and exploring the mangrove lagoon for marine critters.  Sadly it started to rain towards the end of the day, and we all made our way back to the Marina where we loaded the kayaks back up and tried to warm up under the shelter.


This coming week we hope to venture a little further round Peanut Island to the snorkeling lagoon on the southwest side.
