Shallow Florida Bay
Florida bay is very shallow, inches in spots, requiring you to find a series of small, serpentine passes. This was a challenge at night, but having good GPS routes made it possible. Near midnight all wind died, and all sensory input. As I fixated on a glowing beacon, miles distant, it felt like I was seated on my kayak erg, and motionless. I nearly hit a manatee in the darkness, and the resultant explosion (like a depth charge) worked better than caffeine to keep me firing on all cylinders.
