March 4, 2021 - Airboat Ride |
||||||
| Today we went on an airboat ride on Lake Washington. We arrived at the parking lot on the east side of the Lake and soon thereafter our airboat showed up. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Underway! We crossed over to the lake's west side. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Bruce wishes he could drive the boat. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
The Miner boys want to see some Gators!
|
||||||
 |
||||||
|
Looking for Gator.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| There's one! Can you find it? | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
It's always cool to cross the grass and lillypads in the airboat.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Captain Dexter tells us about Gator and the St. Johns River (which Lake Washington actually is). Dexter has boated, fished and hunted Florida his entire life. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Heading south down the St. Johns River. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| A dark smokey area ahead caused by a controlled fire. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
I wouldn't go wading in there if I were you.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| That's a big one. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
He's looking at us.
|
||||||

||||||
| Captain Dexter maneuvering the airboat. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Turning around and heading north again. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
All too soon the ride was over. What's this? The bill? We had a fun time. You gotta do an airboat ride when you're in Florida. |
||||||
 |
||||||
| After the airboat ride, we headed over to Bruce and Ellen's house in Sebastian. They really have a nice place. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Toys for the boys! | ||||||
