On Wednesday the ship docked in Key West, Florida at 7:00 am. Mark and I departed the boat to tour the island before our snorkeling trip scheduled to start at 9:15 am. You can see that the ship is huge.
We had a wonderful ride out on a large catamaran. We sat in the back so to help Mark with motion sickness. Overall he did really great. You can see our cruise ship in the background as our tour took us out to the third largest barrier reef of coral in the world.
The captain announced that there was an unusually large amount of jelly fish in the water today. He went to five different spots before informing us that this place would have the least amount, however it still had an very high number of jelly fish in the water. Mark and I were one of the first in the water. We did well to avoid the jelly fish for the first 10 minutes but then it seemed to me that that was all I was doing. I did see a sting ray and barracuda and beautiful fish, but mostly I saw jelly fish EVERYWHERE! I decided I had had enough and boarded the catamaran. Mark stayed in the water about 10 more minutes. At one point he was surrounded by jelly fish and had to dive down to avoid being stung.
