Placida April 2018 Day Two - Placida Harbor, Gasparilla Sound, and Gasparilla Pass

I'll make this short and sweet. Will share the link to the full story once it's posted on ExploreFloridaWaters.com. :)

Got up early and headed over to Gasparilla Sound to do some diving at "the trestle!"

Afterward, we headed back to the dock in Placida Harbor, where we had a quite long dolphin sighting.

The dolphin began chasing a school of fish (I'm pretty sure they were mullet) over a shallow mudflat. The entire school would leap ahead of the dolphin...

We also watched an Osprey dive for a large stick and carry it to its nest.
