FALL 2016
A
fter a week of diving
Florida’s Upper Keys in
rough conditions, we were
encouraged by a forecast
of diminishing winds
and calming seas. The
timing was perfect for a drive south through
Marathon and over the Seven Mile Bridge past
Bahia Honda State Park and on to Big Pine
Key. The turquoise water and blue skies there
are endless, and life slows to a true Keys pace.
