For several years we have noticed the Ducky Boat and said that we would love to take the tour but never have – until today. The Red Hat group made the trip this morning and we climbed aboard – the 6 of us were a little chilly. The sun was shining and the temps got to mid 60’s so it was not too bad – but – so unlike the usual weather that we are still surprised when we walk outdoors. The Ducky Boat took us through the intercostal to Dona Bay and then up to the entrance where the north jetty and south jetty face each other. We even sailed up the intercostal to the drawbridge at Nokomis Beach.
