Welcome back, 

Part 3 of Everyone's Travel Club's kayaking adventure in Key West was really a scouting mission for future expeditions.  Check out these pics from 3 great launch sites.

#1  John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

Just an hour from Miami, this park had lots of great places, with close parking, to launch a kayak or canoe.  Rentals are available but we heard from a few locals that they restrict a lot of the places you can go (if you rent that is).

#2 Bahia Honda

Keep driving South and you'll eventually pass Bahia Honda, arguably one of the best beaches in the Keys...it's locally pronounced Bay-ah Honda...for some reason...You're looking at about 2 1/2 hours from Miami, or 45 minutes from Key West.

#3 Key West

We made it!  I caught a great sunset at the South end of the main drag.  The next day I launched from here!  Check back soon to catch the trip!
