Sailing to Miami!
A couple of hours ago we left the dock at Key Largo! We’ve been sailing smoothly and our autohelm is working great. Lucky even came out and visited for a while, so it seems like he’s getting his sea legs backs. We’ll probably be there around 7 or 8 pm. I’m so excited to go to the boat show! I already have a list of all the seminars I want to go to.
- Galley Secrets or Mediterranean Magic (at the same time, so i have to choose)
- Yoga
- Yacht Financing & Insurance in the new economy
- Sailboat Buying 101
- Prep for Offshore cruising
- Basic Diesel Maintenance
- Sailboat Safety and Stability
- An Overview of Celestial Navigation
- Beginner’s Guide to planning a cruise, or Kids 4 Sail
I’m particularly excited about 2,3 & 4 because I’m hoping to buy a boat and do some of my own sailing this year. The boat I want is actually a Pearson 28, and it’s a gorgeous boat. It’s in really great shape from what I can tell, seems dry, barely needs any work and is a good size. It also comes with lots of equipment and the price is fantastic; For that price I would barely be able to buy all the equipment that comes with the boat! So I’m really excited about that.
This past weekend we rented a car and drove up to Boca Raton for Garrett and Erin’s wedding. It was beautiful! There was a 40s theme and the bride was just gorgeous, and I got lots of compliments on my outfit as well. It was such a nice simple wedding and a great party. Sunday we had leftovers for lunch (which was delish, the caterer did a wonderful job) and went to the beach for a bit. I got to meet all of Nonnie and Twopa’s family which is so so nice! I really feel more like a part of the family now that I’ve met them all and gone to one of the infamous family parties! I got to hang out with all the other kids and it was just great.
I’ll update again once we’re settled in Miami!
