We had been told to remain seated and keep our seatbelts fastened as we neared our Florida destination nearly three weeks ago. However, we were able to avoid much of the turbulence by remaining in the clear skies over the Gulf and avoiding the “thunder-bumpers” over the Florida peninsula.
On the right side, mid-photo, Cedar Key and other keys can be seen protruding into the Gulf of Mexico. The land-sea boundaries there are indistinct, and the mainland seems to just dissolve in bits and pieces into the sea.
However the terrain and waters may meet and mix, we had smooth passage through the area, and the turbulence over the terrain just before landing was quite mild. The weather gods seem to have taken most of their mischief elsewhere.
