Tortugas

[Dave Taylor]

Roger,

While the seaplane would make for some great views of the Fort, it just wasn't a feasible option for us in terms of cost and getting all our supplies out there. We are pretty sure we'll enjoy the boat ride.

Gene,

The hermit crabs on Fort Jefferson are no joke. I've already seen a few videos of them making their nightly migration onto the island.

Rich,

I need your expertise on this. I have that Michael O'Laughlen was originally buried on Bird Key, one of the small islands to the southwest of Garden Key. Bird Key is now under water. Then there is Hospital Key to the north east of Garden Key which is still above water. Kate I are are bringing a kayak in the hopes of paddling out to these places. Do your records concur that O'Laughlen was buried at Bird Key?
