Lots of things but lately it's been sea grass flats. As it becomes less windy here in the south Florida spring the water is clearing and I see all kinds of marine life and a variety of grasses and other flora as I glide over the flats in a kayak, from tiny fish, crabs and conchs to bottle nose dolphins, rolling tarpon, huge manatees and the ocassional sharp beak whale and black tip and nurse sharks coming up from adjacent channels to hunt. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this ecosystem for a few days each week.
