We reluctantly leave Little Palm Island and head to Key Largo. This is an unplanned stop . We have decided to extend our trip a bit because we are going to view the shuttle launch on the 11th and we have a few days to fill. Scrambling for a place to stay, we find Calusa Campground has a spot for us .... 
and fortunately it's on the water. It's yet another in a string of very weird, not very nice places, but the view makes it okay and Rick gets to try his hand at fishing again. Here's his biggest catch .... not caring for barracuda for dinner, he throws it back!

Here's his biggest catch .... not caring for barracuda for dinner, he throws it back!We've choosen Key Largo because the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is here. We've been lugging our snorkeling gear all over and we haven't had an opportunity yet. This is a great one. It's the only living coral reef in the continental United States and the third largest barrier island in the world. We take a boat out a few miles and have a terrific dive. All the photos are on "real" film on the underwater camera, so they'll have to wait to be posted.
Since we brought Gigantor to the Park, we're able to clean-up a bit after the dive, have some lunch and then spend the afternoon at the park beach.
Return just in time for a glorious sunset.
