Another calm day on the ocean, so we decided to load up the snorkeling gear on the boat and drive over to Sombrero Reef. It’s a protected reef area where no fishing or spearing is allowed. Water clarity wasn’t great and there were a number of jellyfish to avoid, but were able to see quite a few fish. Spent a couple hours parked at the reef, then headed a bit west to a nearby fishing spot to try our hand at yellow tailing again. Didn’t find the good quality fish like Sunday, but still managed to catch 6 keepers.

Called it an early day to get back to the house and get cleaned up for a dinner at a nearby restaurant called LazyDays. It’s the second location of a place I had gone in Islamorada on my bachelor party back in 2006. Once again the food was great along with a perfect sunset view from our table. They cooked up a huge platter of our yellowtail cooked three different ways and still eating it for lunch today!
