Key Biscayne Island - Circum-navigation




Started early...around 6:30 am


Under the bear cut bridge
(this connects Key Biscayne with mainland)


The current was swift through the bear cut channel.


Reef formation along the shore


looking like a plastic bag...this is called man-of-war...dangerous to touch...causes severe allergic reaction in humans...



Pelicans in a sand bar...



Franklin's Gull...


It got windy.....waves got stronger....


The upper north east side of the Key Biscayne island got lot of shallow areas...here is one with the Island on the background

This light house has been standing on the south east corner of the Island for more than a century...


Some sort of sailing class going on .....


Wind picked up on the way back....bay got really rough....landed around 1 pm
