Chastain Beach / Indian River
This paddle is one of our absolute favorites—but timing is everything. From February through March, the winds can shift in an instant, and today was no exception. Strong southern winds turned the journey into a battle, making every stroke toward the island (and back) feel like a test of endurance. Despite the challenge, the destination…
Warmer Weather Returns to FL
After months away from the water, I finally found myself back in the embrace of Florida’s familiar warmth.
