Setting Up

Location: Crystal River, Florida

Day 1
by Wayne & Karen Brown


Well, we arrived last night and tried to catch up on the sleep we missed on the way here. The birds chirping in the trees woke us up. Now it is time to get all set up to find some manatees. We need to pull everything out of our van, completely unpack, check and prepare the kayaks, organize our dive equipment, wait for the phone guy to hook up our line so we can upload all our information to you on our web site and so you can email us. We have to let everyone here know we have arrived and arrange our schedule with theirs. We have some equipment that just arrived here and some hasn't arrived because UPS messed up their delivery.

The phone guy just arrived and discovered a short on our line, so it may be after lunch before we are online.

We will be given you a complete report on our activities on Day 2 of our expedition. We will be back with you then!

 

Lake City, Florida: We have just been welcomed at the welcome center.
