Day 16 - Key West, FL (Feb 12, 2011)

Day 16 - Saturday, February 12, 2011 - Key West, FL

Big change in the weather - cloudy and cool 16c - small craft advisory is up - so no diving today.

Today was to be the dive on the wreck of the Vandenberg, which as an old NASA tracking ship used in the 60's to the mid 1980's (http://www.keywest.com/vandenberg/).  It was purspose sunk 18 months ago for divers.  It sits in 65m of water but the upper deck is at 30m or so and part of the tracking dishes are at 20m.  It is one of the "must do" dives in Key West.  Now rescheduled for Tuesday - weather permitting.

We are off into town, visiting the Ernst Hemingway House (www.hemingwayhome.com)
he lived in the Key West for a number of years. The person who was our guide made the home and his life come alive, this was a very interesting person, who had 5 wives and cats with 6 or 7 toes. There are still the poly toe cats all over the place.
