Marathon to Key West

Blues and greens were jumping out of the clear water everywhere on today's "back way" to Key West. The bottom was visible for much of the meandering 60+ mile track. Started by going west in Hawk Channel on the ocean side, then turned north under the 20' bridge at Bahia Honda. Then up Big Spanish Channel, past Big Spanish Key and then west at Harbor Key Bank for a 28 nm run in the Gulf to the Northwest Channel entrance to Key West. -JSH
