Fort Zachary Taylor

Fort Zach

The Indominatable, used for drug runner surveillance

This is where you're supposed to watch the sun set in Key West.

Ocean Bottom, west of Key West

This might be the Caine, judging from the trees.

These birds would follow around the rays like this for some reason. Maybe they were acting like cattle egrets. The picture's a little fuzzy, but it's not bad considering it was taken at over 70 mph and from over 100 ft. up.

From light blue to dark blue.

One hour into the ocean.

This is a Dry Tortuga

This is a mostly wet tortuga.

Fort Jefferson, about 60 miles west of Key West.

This boat was visiting Ft. Jeff.

A lighthouse, just west of Ft. Jefferson, which is in the background.

A microwave tower, about 30 miles from land.

The birds monitor the solar cells.

It's hard to judge altitude when the water is still and glassy.

There were lots of sharks, sea turtles, flying fish, rays, and a few dolphins. I think this is a shark, but I can't tell for sure from the picture.

A ray. I think you need a ray gun to hunt these.
