So, I finally went to visit Maynard

A year ago, I told Maynard I would come visit him, but only by water. A four hour long return trip, up into Sarasota's north bay - and I finally just went for it.  He always teases me about being able to out paddle me kayaking, against my little 2 HP canoe, but I knew better. But, I really think he secretly just wanted me to come by and see his special, 'newly prized' Venus Fly Trap.  Our families go way back.
