Dry Tortugas

After 19 months and 9 Central American countries, Cloud 9 was on her way back into U.S. water.    This charming collection of islands called the Dry Tortugas are 68 miles offshore from Key West.  The islands are very isolated and pristine.  The only way to visit them is either by sea plane, which landed RIGHT next to us, or by ferry, both depart from Key West daily.
