May 16 - Key West : Sailing

Today was a great day! We spent the morning lounging in our hotel's pool. We stayed at "The Inn at Key West" which was really nice and had an awesome pool. We booked a trip on the "Danger" cruise for the day. At 3pm we boarded the Danger sailboat and headed out on the ocean. We saw many of the other key islands out there and actually got off of the sailboat to go kayaking around one of the islands. We learned that the Keys are all made from Red Mangrove trees - interesting. After kayaking, the sailboat took our group further out to go snorkeling. We saw a lot of coral, sponges, fish, and lobsters in the water. We watched the sunset from the sailboat, saw many other boats out there, and even saw a couple getting married on a saiboat. We met some great people from Charlotte while on the boat and later that night went out to dinner with them. It was a spectacular day!
