Heading out into the Atlantic

We left Key West around 9:45 after a pump out and topping off our tanks! We rounded the end of the Island and headed out into the Atlantic.  For the first time our compass did not read a southerly course.  We are headed North East.  The weather is unbelievable,  80 degrees no wind and a dead calm ocean, yes we had glass waters to run on.  We cruised along our friends Dick and Inga for about 35 miles to Picnic Island which is about halfway to Marathon.  We could see the bottom 16 to 20 feet below us, the water is the most in unbelievable shade of turquoise.   Unfortunately even though I was trolling 2 lines we could see no fish.  We did see a large sea turtle on the bottom and a few Dolphins.  What a great day.  Cheers,  I am going to have a glass of wine and then grill some fish!
