Cessna 172
I don't think I've ever gone on a shorter trip. Was a little too rough to snorkel but still had a great time partying at the Sandbar and good food at Island Grill.
Didn't turn on GPS until I was airborne for about 30 minutes. Flew over the Sandbar and Tavernier Key. Quite a few bull sharks out and about. 1.5 hours total flying time.
Water was flat calm and had the afternoon off of work. Why not take advantage of it and hit the water!
Idea was to snorkel the reefs, weathermen wrong again. Took it bay side for a nice day cruise.
