2015 Florida Sailing Trip - Photo Essay

Wookie oversees the launch. Epic boat clean up, heat exchanger, stuffing box, impeller and oil change are done. Overheating woes at the dock left Matt stuck for an extra day. Thanks to neighbour Chip, who helped Matt flush out salt deposits in the cooling system. I've left the dirty work to the two of them this time around, you're welcome guys!


Matt solo sails and anchors off Sanibel island
Wook waits patiently for me to arrive from the airport to join the crew.  Maranatha sits at anchor in the distance, just off Fort Myers Beach.


This is how excited we are to be back on the boat!
Peaceful evening picnic while anchored off of Sanibel. Little did we know we would have to leave at  2:00 a.m. due to insane swell rocking the boat later that night, which led to an amazing moonlit sail :)

Cabbage Key - don't set fire to this place...



Still holds to be true...
What the fog?



Anchored at Boca Grande - love this spot!
