Key
West
Today
was a highlight day. Our little gaggle of gay friends headed off on
a “three hour cruise”. Think Gilligan's Island - our ship (a 50'
catamaran) set sail for a day of snorkeling on the coral reefs
surrounding Key West. Highlight would have to be swimming with big
sharks up close and personal (nurse sharks, so although scary
looking, placid and essentially harmless). Lunch was then served on
the boat as we sailed to our next destination – more swimming and
snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters on a sand bank way out in the
ocean. A powder-soft sandy bottom with only a few islands out in the
distance made it a surreal experience. Then on the return trip where
we sailed along with a pod of dolphins who played with us and to top
it off we were visited by a sea turtle. Our tans topped off
beautifully today! We bought some local prawns and had these by the
pool to finish off our day then collapsed into bed. Ahhhh, another
day in Paradise.
