Throwing it out there if anyone local to me or someone in Key Largo to Islamorada maybe Marathon GTG.

It's the last days of Summer break and getting anything for a night or two is impossible or $$$$.

Looking at one of those days leave early from Miami and launch at John Pennekamp around 9am.
Snorkel around Christ first and then burn gas South to alligator and or Sombero Lighthouse in Marathon.
It will be ~100 mile run if we want lunch at Burdines


Here's a cool site that has planned routes.


Any takers?
 
Heading out tomorrow
Hoping for a good day

Did a map distance tracker.

Not actual line but a good 50 miles from John Penekamp to Islamorda and back around in bay.

Spectacular day on water as conditions were calm and clear
