[QUOTE="bilbo, post: 404164, member: 6965"] From what we could tell, there were two camp areas on the island. We chose one at the SW corner and set up our camp: [ATTACH type="full"]65466[/ATTACH] The view from our hammocks wasn't bad: [ATTACH type="full"]65464[/ATTACH] The same at night: [ATTACH type="full"]65465[/ATTACH] A cold front moved through overnight the first night we stayed. The cool, dry North wind made for excellent sleeping and the well sheltered lagoon meant our boat stayed beached, moving itself in and out as the tide came and went. In the morning we had upper 50s and the wind was roaring through the trees, but down by the ground it was perfect weather for camp coffee! [ATTACH type="full"]65468[/ATTACH] The downside was that the wind whipped up the Indian River Lagoon into a frenzy so we were pretty much stuck on the island, but the upside was that nobody was out zooming around listening to their awesome music at 800dB. We did attempt to sail in the afternoon but I could make absolutely zero upwind progress without the motor and the chop was miserable. Sam was cold but my onboard insulation kept me comfortable for the most part. [ATTACH type="full"]65467[/ATTACH] After the cold, exciting boat ride it was time for dinner. Alas, the familiar backstrap: [ATTACH type="full"]65469[/ATTACH] After dinner, we had our campfire on the beach. By then, the wind had died down considerably. There was still enough wind and cool temps to keep bugs away though. Awesome evening! [ATTACH type="full"]65470[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
