Paradise Found Island Retreat - Nov. 2003

Coastal Florida Island Retreat
"Ken and Jenn invited us down to stay at their island
retreat and spend some time kayaking, bird watching, and
just relaxing. How could we pass that one up? As an
added bonus we got to watch the total lunar eclipse from
one of the best seats in the house."
"This island consists of just two rental units, a
large pool, 2 hot tubs, a campfire circle and all the
peace and quiet you can handle. Close to both Crystal
River and Homosassa Springs there is plenty around, that
is if you decide to even leave the island. Kayaking,
snorkeling, and manatee tours can be arranged and there
is abundant wildlife right around the island."

Brent Vredevoogd, co-founder of Paddling.net, and his
wife Chris left a cold Michigan to spend a little time
in a warmer climate.
