It's a magical time in the morning. Love the way the sun is reflecting off the glassy calm seas. It does not get much better than that -- Epic photos! Looks like you maximized the therapeutic qualities of the adventure -- Thanks for letting us in on it.
Damn dude, that sounds epic. Closest to turquoise light I've seen is the "green flash" on the boat coming back from the islands here. What you described sounds unreal! I know FL can get some amazing sunrises. One of the best I can remember was a sunrise from the beach in Miami. Was working an event there, got up early and leaked on the sand to watch the sunrise and it was the craziest mix of purple, pink and orange!
