A friend of ours is a pilot. He happened to be out flying the other day while my son and I were boating. Although he never found us out on the river, he did share these photos with my son and I.
It’s always fun to see a place you recognize from the air! In this first photo, the Edgewater boat ramp is visible right in the center of the image. Â It’s that rectangular patch that juts out into the water. Â That is the main channel of the Indian River, which is part of the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway). Â Straight out from the ramp is all the backwater area where we usually go to fish, and beyond that is the ocean.
I don’t recognize where they were when this next photo was taken. I suspect they were flying further north.
We landed our boat on an island and my son got this panorama photo while I did some beach combing. This is where I came across the pink crown conch shell. As I walked the beach area, I came across a cross in memory of someone named Owen. We were out on a Thursday and had the place totally to ourselves. We used the Riverbreeze boat ramp, which is south of Edgewater.
