More snorkeling at offshore reefs!

I know that it seems like all we are doing is fishing and snorkeling but the truth of the matter is that all we are doing is fishing and snorkeling. We stopped at two reefs during our transit from Marathon to Key Largo: Grecian Rocks and Key Largo Dry Rocks. Grecian Rocks had a lot of fossilized coral that was light in color giving the reef the appearance of Greek ruins. Very beautiful. The claim to fame of Key Largo Dry Rocks is that it is the home of the "Christ of the Abyss" statue that is often photographed. There is a trough in the reef and a larger-than-life statue of the Christ is there to swim around. Its a real Florida landmark. Once again, we were joined in our swimming with dozens of types of tropical fish and, of course, the large barracudas. We're getting more and more comfortable swimming with them. After the offshore passage to the Northern Keys, we entered Biscayne Bay, our favorite old cruising grounds on our way to Miami.
