Florida Keys Trip Summer 2017
Normally the family and I take the RV to the Keys when we go, but unfortunately it is having some internal engine issues. Lucky for me, I know a guy with a house on Sugarloaf Key who rents it out so off we went pulling the V-20 behind my "new" 2008 Suburban.
We had a wonderful time swimming in the canal behind the house, snagging a few fish here and there for fresh fish dinners all week, and even sprung for a seaplane ride to Ft. Jefferson/Dry Tortugas (a retirement gift from my wife and kids). The wind had blown for a month ahead of our arrival, but laid down on our second day there providing perfect conditions for Mahi fishing and snorkling on Looe Key reef. A few pics from trip.

Great post, rmb. We were planning on going this summer, but, was not meant to be. I worked at the fort for a summer back in the 80's. Beautiful place. One of the members here,keyv20, works on a shuttle boat from KW.
Thanks for sharing
