Today we decided to go to Wekiwa springs just a couple of miles away from us. This is one of a few clear cold water springs that are found in the Florida area. It was decided to go here as the rush is too big during the weekends as thousands of people flock here. What we were not aware of is that this is a Spring that is constantly at 22 Deg C, unlike our Warmbaths etc. One thing is for sure though and that the water is cold and crystal clear. We took along our snorkeling gear and did some underwater exploration. Sven was the first one to point out a nice Bass and the we even saw some Sunfish and a lot of guppies. It is also an amazing site diving down to where the water bubbles out of the earth and it is quite difficult to swim against that current. Now I know where Glen Lau made his beautiful movies ("Largemouth" and "Largemouth forever"). Definitely in one of Florida's Spring waters. But watch this space !
After spending some time swimming we explored the area and went to fish Sand Lake, also at Wekiwa, although big fish were not there, I at least caught two small Bass. Then the usual afternoon showers cooled us off again and it was time to return home.
