Alligator reef(Key West Big pine key land pix) 1-26-27-14

[deeper thoughts]

Today we headed to Alligator reef. Seas were around one foot, viz was good even in the canal.

Viz about 50-60, water temp 72-74 two different readings. No clouds full sun

The fish life was on steroids today! Over hundred or so barracuda, 30-40 black grouper with some Nassau thrown in. I counted 19 lobster under one ledge, they were everywhere.

Turtles and dolphins during the surface interval

Took a picture of a nice sized crab(closer inspection revealed it was dead)

This weekend we were in Key West and I posted a few pix of the sunset ,Key deer and this crazy beer we found. Forecast looks really nice till Wednesday so far

I'm glad to hear Big Pine Key was full of life! We are headed there next month. Some of those barracudas in the sanctuary are HUGE!!
