I have no idea where the Florida Bay is... is that on the west side?
I'm guessing, but it seems like there's ocean all around.

Florida Bay is the water between the Keys and the mainland peninsular. Much
of it is way too shallow except for canoes, kayaks, etc. It has lots of
little mangrove islands. But, closer to the Keys island chain the water is
deep enough to sail and the Intracoastal Waterway runs though it.



Oh... Fort Jefferson... I looked it up and it looks like it's the same
as the Dry Tortugas, which is what I was thinking of...

That looks beautiful! Can your boat go there?


Sure she can. I've never been out there but it would make a nice trip.
Probably would take a couple weeks to do a round trip right.
