Today we had a blow out. Winds were from the north and low tide was at 11:43 am. When the bayou is this low, you can start to see where the original channels used to be before subsidence happened. Here is a 360° view from Bay Area park, and a photo of the Armand Bayou Nature Center boat house. The tree stumps that can be seen are where the banks of the bayou used to be.

I'm thankful for being able to kayak, having a kayak and friends and family to go kayaking with.

This photo was taken on Monday right after Hurricane Beryl went through. Needless to say, we'll be closed for a bit. If you made reservations, we can reschedule or give a full refund. Hopefully, our power at home will be back on asap. Stay cool!

A Snowy Egret rests on a paddling trail sign at Bay Area Park.

One osprey that's not seen, had a fish and flew around us several times. The bald eagle went after the osprey to steal the fish and the other osprey is seen going after the bald eagle. I wish I had my other camera instead of my phone. This was an awesome sight! You never know what you'll see on the bayou!
