Deer Island 6-18-2017

For Father's Day and Our Anniversary we kayaked to Deer Island. I had a nice time although I got too much sun and got sick after we got back to the truck.

 Deer Island was once connected to Biloxi and isn't considered one of the barrier islands. And while it is the closest island to land, it's actually a lot further then it looks especially when you are kayaking to it.

 We got a lot of rain this summer, so this was one of the few times we were able to go out in the kayaks.

 On our first visit to Deer Island we noticed the channels through the marsh and wanted to see if we could find where it opened to the Bay if it did. We found the channel opening and paddled up it for awhile. We never were able to get to the one we saw on our first trip though.

 The island is pretty large. There were other people there but for the most part we had certain sections of the island to ourselves, which was nice.





 On the Gulf side you have a nice view of the barrier islands.
