12th year now in the Florida Keys. It never gets old.
We are hard core kayakers, and have been to almost every off shore Key that is down there. There are a few more that we need to explore.
We keep looking for that treasure chest half buried in the sand and one of these days we'll find it.
We do have some neat artifacts though from some of those Keys eight miles out in the Gulf

I'm a kayak explorer too! Do you paddle to those keys? I'm pretty timid when it comes to paddling the open ocean.
I snowbird on the "Left" coast around Ft. Myers. Paddle around Pine Island Sound, the Calousahatchee River, Lover's Key etc.
I'm considering Paddling the 100 miles thru the Everglades. There are campsites ever 20 miles or so. Have you ever considered doing something like that? Sometimes our kayak club stays overnight on Picnic Island. Do you camp overnight?
To answer the OP's question: This will be our 10th year. We discuss every year doing it like you do, with storing the fiver and driving down. But my big touring kayaks won't fit on the Honda Civic.
