Thanks for approving my membership! My wife and I winter just outside Everglades City and I have spent a good deal of time kayaking the waters of Cypress, the Everglades and the 10,000 Island area the past 6 winters.  This winter's highlight will be my grandson and I doing the Everglades Wilderness Waterway!  I hope to maybe benefit from y'all's experience before heading out.  So, any advice I'm more than open, and after it's over I'll certainly let you know how it went.  Again, thanks for including me!  Russ
