Meeks Bay to DL Bliss

Today we paddled from Meeks Bay to DL Bliss state park. A beautiful paddledefinitely   and one of the best. We started at Meeks Bay a little before 9. We left from the Resort side of the bay because my son likes the snack bar. It is $10 to park, and it opens at 7am.

The first mile takes you out of the bay and south around a point. It was calm in the morning but it can get really choppy here so go early. This is looking south toward DL Bliss and Emerald Bay. We passed a seaplane that took off and landed a few times.


It's about 3 miles Lester Beach at DL Bliss. Inside Rubicon Bay the water is turquoise, except for two black "trenches" where it must be really deep. Only problem: lots of water skiers.  It's surprising how close they come to us, and how they all seem to fall right next to us. I feel sorry for the people that live in the beautiful houses on Rubicon Bay and have to listen to all the blaring music in the early morning.

The details (there's no cell reception at Meeks Bay, so our route map didn't get saved in my app...)
