Patience! More than any other virtue, this is perhaps most needed if you are a cruiser. The 8-minute video of walking around Fort Jefferson on Garden Key and snorkeling in the nearby waters only took three full days to upload onto YouTube. Do not take your high speed internet for granted. Relying on marinas (or other businesses) for wifi teaches patience and makes you appreciate those times when it is fast.

Nevertheless, here is the long-in-production video. I’m still a novice at this, but hopefully you find it enjoyable. I condensed well over an hour of video into around eight minutes (and probably should have cut it shorter).
