By Boat or By Airplane?

When this trip was in the planing stages. The day trip to visit the remote and interesting Fort Jefferson was included in the itinerary. There are 3 ways to get there. As Fort Jefferson is located on a small remote island named "Garden Key". That is located 70 miles due west of Key West. The 3 ways are by seaplane, by boat, or if you own your own boat or seaplane.
I have yet to do a water takeoff and landing before. So I was going in that direction, to fly. When I left on the trip. The airplane costs $280 and your time to visit the fort is short, only a couple of hours. The boat is an all day affair. Travel time on the boat is over 2 hours each way. They feed you breakfast and lunch. Also you are provided with a skilled tour guide when you reach the island. The cost for this trip is $165.
The decision was a tough one. I have to admit. As the chances of getting seasick on the boat ride was possible. But I did go with the boat. It was a great deal and a amazing boat ride. The whole trip was enjoyed, as the weather conditions came up perfect. My seaplane ride will have to be another day.
