In this new video, we sailed seven nautical miles to Sand Key Lighthouse, one of Key West’s oldest historic landmarks.
The original inappropriately-named lighthouse was built on a sandy shoal, but a hurricane destroyed it in the 1840s. Today there’s no sandbar left; instead, there’s a beautiful reef that we couldn’t wait to explore.
Our camera (and still-developing underwater videography skills) couldn’t do justice to the beauty of this reef. The variety of sea life, the colors of the coral—we had moments down thereof, “Is this really our life right now?”
We finished our dive, got back on the boat, and sailed 15 miles west to Boca Grande Key, our home for the night. Sit tight on a boat for a few hours, and afterward, you want nothing more than to stretch your legs. So we hit the beach, ready for a walk.
But here we discovered more than seaweed and shells. This beach had more than simply palm trees swaying in the breeze.
We found a chug.
We may have been grateful about our life while diving the reef at the Sand Key Lighthouse, but finding this shell of a boat ramped that gratitude up to a whole new level. Watch the full video for an up-close-and-personal look.
