Mosquito Lagoon Mar. 15, 2009
Mosquito Lagoon - We went out to Haulover Canal to put in to see the
Discovery Shuttle Launch. We got out there a few hours early and paddled around to see the sights and came upon a dolphin just cruising in a small 
cove. We then paddled down a small path and saw many horseshoe crabs along the banks. We then saw a great place to bank our yak and settle in to see the shuttle launch.
The launch was awesome. We have never been this close to a launch before and will never forget it. As the shuttle was taking off and in the air the roar of the engines could be heard across the lagoon and the sky lit up. We will definitely go and see another launch before they retire the fleet of shuttles.
