#6 – The lubbers!
One of team #3s first encounters in Florida was in the everglades
with the always ready for action lubbers. We couldn’t walk 5 feet without hearing
a couple of lubbers getting it on in the bushes off trail.
#5– That Time I had a heat stroke
After spending all day in the heat and exploring the Coral
Fossil site, I was incapable of forming a sentence much to everyone’s amusement
for a short moment. Luckily I was actually fine and it was probably just a dry
mouth, but it definitely became a recurring joke for the rest of the trip.
#4- Kayaking The Mangroves
Everyone visiting the Keys should definitely rent a kayak for
the day and go through the Mangroves. When the trees are too thick its awesome
to Tarzan through without paddling, pulling and pushing off roots and branches.
#3 – The Night Dive
Beautiful yet terrifying, a night dive is the best way to
see creatures that typically hide during the day. Green Sea Turtles and biolumescent
plankton are plentiful at night and a sight to see through the cone of your
flashlight. Make sure your dive buddy doesn’t have chronic nosebleeds… it might
draw some unwanted attention from barracudas in the water.
#2 – SHARKS
The shark dive was easily one of the best experiences I’ve
ever had, getting so close to so many Nurse Sharks was so amazing especially since
it was one of my first SCUBA dives. They are such interesting and inquisitive creatures,
they were very interested in the divers and would nudge up to them, almost as if
they were saying hi!
#1 – Making New Friends
Gotta go with the cheesiest one for my favorite “moment”. The
best thing to come out of the trip to Florida was the friends I got to know. It’s
so insane to think we became such good friends over a week long trip. These
moments wouldn’t be the same without such an awesome team. Shoutout to Papa Mike!
