Tuesday we left Biscayne Bay by way of the Atlantic near Stiltsville. The 1st stilt house was built by "Crawfish" Eddie Walker in 1933. You could get beer, bait, and crawfish chowder there. You could also go there and gamble. In it's prime there were 27 houses built in all. They were known as social clubs! Now there are about 7 houses still left. They are trying to preserve them.
We trolled for tuna and dolphin and for the 2nd day got skunked!!
It was cloudy all day. We anchored in Key Largo by the Ocean Reef Club. The sun didn't show it's face till sunset...then all of a sudden it popped through a little opening and gave us a very nice sunset! After that the mosquitoes ate us and we had to retreat inside!

Wednesday we headed to Pennekamp State Park to snorkel the Christ of the Abyss statue. It's not the Bahamas. ..but it was very nice. Visibility was about 50 feet...not bad. We had a sea turtle that stayed swimming beneath us for awhile! And my underwater camera was dead as a door nail! We have anchored by Tavernier Key.....wish is where we anchored before making the crossing to Bimini at the beginning of our journey!
