We anchored on the outer barrier reef,  just outside of the Sombrero Key Sanctuary Preservation Area, and went into the reserve to snorkel.
Lots of lovely tourist fish -  not at all afraid of divers.
The wind was kind and the forecast for the night was for a light breeze so we stayed overnight and continued on our trip to Key West next morning.
