April 10-11 An Underwater State Park

We were underway again.  We crossed from the Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean and headed up the Atlantic coast.  We arrived at the channel to enter John Pennekamp State Park, which is an underwater state park that protects the coral for thousands of acres of ocean waters.   One of navigation challenges was getting up a narrow channel when big tour boats took up the entire waterway (first pic).  Our best activity was taking a snorkel tour, where we saw about 100 varieties of tropical fish among different kinds of coral.  The last pic shows Becky and Christine on the snorkel boat, somewhat waterlogged after being in the water for over 2 hours.
