MJ, its funny you mentioned that the water didn't seem as salty, I thought the same thing when I was in the Keys, it didn't smell as salty so I tasted it, tasted a lot less salty (I'm setting myself up here ain't I).

Set up?
 

On a party boat excursion we went on somewhere, it stopped at a beach and they brought the tequila drinks out into the water for us so we didn't have to get out of the water.

Needless to say, I bet the water was rather "salty" at that beach. Hopefully that's not where you tasted it....

Welcome Back MJ!
Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Looking at the pictures is getting me excited about our cruise at the end of April. The Admiral booked us a short 4 day cruise around FL. The Bahama's,Coco cay and Key West. At first we were going to take a year off from cruising as we went last year but she pick this 4 day cruise up for $217 PP. She asked me if I wanted to go and I said....heck yea!!!
