Islamorada to Key Largo

We left for Key Largo Tue. and John Pennycamp State Park.  We cruised up the Atlantic for about 22 miles in 3-4 ft seas. We stayed closer in shore as waves in Hawks Channel farther out were 4-6'. We tied up on a mooring ball for the night. We bounced around a bit with 15-18 knot winds and 2 ft chop.  Not great taking Cody into shore at at 10pm. The next day we called the Park and they had 2 of 3 slips that would fit our boats and in we went. 52 bucks a night sweet!  The park here is spectaclar diving is as good as it gets in Florida, unfortunatley with 18 knot winds out side, going out to the reefs was out of the question. We road our bikes and did some dingy rides.  Coming back into the Marina with a strong incoming tide got Lil Putz up to 30 mph. One of the pictures you can see our boat in the moring field.  Another picture shows Cassiopeia  Jellyfish in about 3 feet of water.
