Cool narrow channel in FL keys
 
Been spending a lot of time in Islamorada & Plantation key lately. here's a quick vid of going thru a narrow channel on plane...note how cloudy the water is - VERY shallow.

Looks fun. Always feels & looks faster when your in a narrow or in your case very narrow area. Gives you reference points to judge speed vs open water.
Pretty cool.

Lower Matecumbe, west of US1 about MM76-77, I have a good friend that has a house at MM75.7 just to the left of where they met up after coming through the channel...
