Grandson Luke's first snorkeling trip

Summer in Florida is a great time for snorkeling or SCUBA diving in our clear water.  The clearest water is in the Gulf Stream current that flows north off the coast of our state.  In St. Augustine you have to go fifty miles out to experience " the stream".   If you visit the Florida Keys, however, it is just a few miles offshore.  You can also dive and snorkel on the inside of the reef for smoother water that is protected by the coral from Atlantic Ocean swells.  A great place for beginning or young adventurers to experience their first taste of Nemo's habitat.  Daughter Agatha and grandson Luke just returned from Luke's first open ocean snorkeling experience.  They chose a dedicated snorkeling boat operator that let them out in shallow water so they could see more of Sombrero Reef.  A gigantic success.  They then visited "Theater of the Sea" for a dolphin experience and Key West for a Mallory Square sunset.  The seven mile bridge was cool to.  Maybe I will get to go on the next Key's trip.  Go Luke!
