Nice. Florida is awesome for this. We did the area around Captiva and Sanibel last year. Rented a 22 foot center console. Put about 200 miles on it over 4 days.

How was Sombrero? It looks pretty cool.

Envy and jealousy only make an individual more miserable. Face it, some people have it better than others. Live and let live. They have not stolen your piece of the pie, they have simply made a bigger pie.

Looe Reef. About 18 miles SW of Sombrero Reef.

Wish I was there now.

Well heck then you know Florida much better than I do. I thought it was going to be a first time trip for you so I was just sharing the minuscule amount I knew :lol::lol: Sounds like you have it dialed. Sombrero was cool. Typical east coast snorkeling with lots of sponges and sea fans.

Some Nomad comments are not necessarily representative of jealousy and envy.... but perhaps are indicative of limited tolerance of "fools" ... :light:

But thank you for your critical condemnation. :biggrin:

Oh my, a Pacifico beer drinker! Don’t let your jealousy and envy of your usual targets get the best of you.
Ironic? Of course. Why would I dig out and post a note like that without realizing that it takes a fool to engage in banter with one? 😁

I was in Sturgis 9 years ago next month. Interesting place, some of the largest bars I've ever seen.
