With my daughter Fiona joining our trek we decided to go back to Brooker Creek. The handling of the canoe with a third person was entirely different, but this is a beautifully balanced canoe. Launching with a third person was amazingly easy!
This time we skirted the lake almost entirely by paddling through all the seagrass that even jetskis could not attempt.
Brooker Creek was extremely high due to Tropical Storm Debby's aftermath.
The wildlife we saw was amazing.
Since we only own two paddles, Fiona sat up front with the camera. She took pictures of the many birds and a few turtles.
Once we passed under McMullen Booth Road the river was very high and had a rather strong current.
The green covering of two weeks ago was gone but it remains the most beautiful place we have paddled so far. Under the break are many more pictures!

| Some of the graffiti under the bridge. I wonder how many of these couples are still together? |

| This is the same turtle! He was still there when we came back the other way. |
