Dry Tortugas National Park

Yesterday we drove about 6 hours down to Sugarloaf Key. We woke up early today to make it to the Yankee Freedom ferry – about a 2.5 hour ferry to the Dry Tortugas National Park. We got a guided tour of Fort Jefferson before wandering around by ourselves. We actually saw a raft of refugees arriving as we were about to depart – a pretty common occurrence as this is the southernmost point. When we got back to the campground that night, there was a big hubbub as there were manatees just chilling at the docks – people were giving it some hose water to play with.
