It is getting very shallow here and the water filled with vegetation.
I have reached my point of return. 
Just turned around and now paddling back.
Will paddle past this peninsula on the right-half of the picture and veer right to the take out.
I can now see the access area to McDaniels Marsh at center of photo.
My arrival disturbed these ducks at the dam next to takeout.
Landed back. Paddle time is 50 minutes.
