Sea Legs and Snorkels

We boarded the ferry American Freedom and traveled 70 miles west of Key West today to the smallest national park, the Dry Tortugas. The military built a naval fortress here that began construction in 1825 and continued on and off for 30 years and yet was never finished. After a tour of the fort we had the opportunity to try snorkeling for the first time. We did reasonably well but we liked being airborne better yesterday!

The ride back was rough for the first of the 2.5 hours but we persevered and arrived back in Key West for another sunset and displays of creative talent at Mallory Square.
