This is a nice reward especially when coming unexpected on a warm sultry day.



All the ponds and streams are tannin stained, but don't you worry, this is the result of a big eco-filter created by moss, mineral gravel and other wet plant covers. It even creates white to yellowish colored foam covering huge areas of the pond when left allone for a while.



This is totally safe and with the greatest confidence in consuming pure nature, you can drink the water.



Just be careful on the big streams "mouthing" directly into the see. Theyre all more or less salty in the vicinity of the mouth, depending how strong the river flows and the tide - as the counter power - pushes the fresh water back upstream.
