Allright today we are headed to the Bird Key Wreck to see what we can see. Winds are still a little high and getting anchored is a chore, i go up 10 ft the wind pushes me back 15 lol. Finally got a decent hold for the dinghy and got on our gear to snorkel this wreck. Going under the surface i noticed a big blob like a coral head but Steve pointed and said it was the propeller ( in sign language for snorkelers haha), overgrown with all kinds of sea plants, barnacles and overrun with fish it was so cool to see that huge prop. The wreck had been presumably carrying bricks for Fort Jefferson ran into rough weather and wrecked on the shoal or reef in that area in the late 1800s. We could see the bow and the 6 ft tall propeller , the engine and all other parts were covered in coral almost to the point you could not tell what they were. There were 3 big grouper running in and out of the wreckage, black grouper and a smaller goliath grouper(smaller than100 pounds i mean). What a great day for checking out a wreck and enjoying the great company of Barry and Andrea. We took a bumpy ride back to the boat after our crazy adventure at bird key wreck. The other sailboaters and boaters look at us like “what?” they went out in that?”. Yep that would be us…..
