Count me in!
I may have an extra yak if somebody needs one.

So many trees, so little time...
For being snow and icebound (I haven't seen grass since end of Nov.) this trip is highly anticipated; especially after the roan mountain hang! Just save me two trees
Well if you like paddling there is a kayak/canoe trail that weaves through some mangroves. I'm planning to paddle it myself during the time we are there.
Here is the link for Canaveral National Seashore: http://www.nps.gov/cana/index.htm
There are some interesting things to see. We are also bringing two kayak sails with us if anyone wants to give them a try on the open waters of Mosquito Bay. Here's the link to the what they are: http://www.windpaddle.com/

I'll be going out on Thursday to scout the sites on Orange Island (campsites 1 & 2). I've heard that they have lots of shade, (which I take to mean plenty of trees) but want to check them myself.
I'll take a few pics and share my findings when I get back.
So for the mangrove paddle a short kayak would be best? Tell how long your recommend.
I've never had to consider if it would be tough for a longer yak. Our longest is only 13.5. I'll take a closer look at the trail this week and give you a more definitive answer.
Here is the a map of the canoe trail: http://www.nbbd.com/godo/cns/Brochur...ing/index.html
We have two 9.5 and a 13.5 foot SOT yaks. They are super stable and easy to paddle; anyone is welcome to have a go. They are perfect for the trails but a lot more work out in the lagoon. (That's why I have a sail.) The long, sleek boats are certainly easier and faster in the open water. If you bring a long boat but want to use a short one to do the trail, no problemo.
Sea you there...

This trip sounds so fantastic, I'd almost be tempted to hop on a plane!
Have a great trip...
This sounds like a good trip! I'm waiting for my Black bird to get her in the mail,and I am itching to test it out. My mother lives in the cocoa beach area and I love kayaking and fishing the area. I'm not familiar with where the hang is going to be but would love to come and join y'all. I hung for the first time at the first annual FL hang and was hooked(or hung). It was an awesome experience. Hope I can make it, if there is room.
