Turner River
Our last day was a pleasant paddle through small bays, creeks, a river, and finally Chokoloskee Bay. Low tide made it difficult going the last few miles. The most dangerous part of the trip came as we were almost run over by a giant speedboat going 30+ MPH.
Mud!
The last 10 feet were the most difficult. Both Peter and I got out our canoes to "walk" them to shore - not a bright idea. We both sank up to our pudenda in mud - very thick and smelly mud. There must be trillions of anaerobic bacteria living there making hydrogen sulfide. I lost my shoes. They threw me a rope and pulled me in.
Trail's End
All good things must come to an end. Back in Naples we enjoyed a boat ride and a good meal before departure for parts north early the next day.
