After
leaving Lake Worth, Dean set up the new GPS, affectionately known as
Gretchen, for routes south. We went diving at Pennekamp State Park
on Key Largo--very nice, but no pictures. The next stop: The Bahia Honda
Key where a wide selection of plants have floated in over the
centuries. We also stopped at the butterfly garden where we saw
the normal south Florida butterflies and another weird species
that usually has trouble flying.
After a few days taking in the Key West ambiance,
we headed north, but not very far. We took a 3-tank dive on
Looe Key, a sunken key to the east of Big Pine Key. Very popular
for snorkelers because it's so shallow, but we divers have time to find
wildlife that may elude the snorkel crowd. The water became
murkier as the day progressed. The scrawled file fish showed up
like neon through the haze and the southern ray probably thought he was
invisible under the sand.
