Jeanneau 50 "Santa Rita" at Palm Harbor Marina, West Palm Beach.
Getting ready to depart on trip around Florida to the Vinoy Marina, St Pertersburg. This is the boat we'll sail in the Bone Island Regatta starting May 15, from St Petersburg to Key West.
Thursday, April 4, 2013
Finally, a delivery!
I've been keeping busy. Teaching ASA classes and skippering charters for Sailing Florida. It's all great, but I've been hankering for opportunities to get out of Tamp Bay. Finally, I've got one - delivery of a nicely equipped Jeanneau 50 from Palm Harbor Marina in West Palm Beach to the Vinoy Marina in St Petersburg. The drive to West Palm begins tomorrow before dawn.

Fleming 55 trawlers
During a recent overnight at the Twin Dolphin Marina I saw these sister-ships and had to stop and take a photo. Back in the 80s I captained an older sister to these for a year and a half cruise to South America and back.
I skippered it from Ft Lauderdale, down to the Keys, across to the Bahamas, south and east to the Turks and Caicos. Then on to the Virgin Islands. South through the Leeward and Windward Islands of the Antilles. All the way down to Venezuela and the Los Roques archipelago to the north. And then I did the return trip.
It was my best gig ever.
The Fleming is an incredibly capable and comfortable cruising vessel. Every time I see one I have to stop and look at those lines. Every time I see one it conjures up powerful memories of that amazing cruise.
SPOT check-in messages
Below are a series of SPOT check-in reports from my recent cruise with a former student, now owner of a lovely Catalina 310.
His boat had been in the Maximo boatyard for some repairs and updating. We provisioned and fueled the boat at the boatyard, sorted out a couple last minute issues, then set out for the Gulf via the North Channel. We sailed through the night, reaching in NW wind. Mid afternoon on the next day we went in Boca Grand Pass with 3 to 5 foot swells breaking across the channel. This was intimidating enough to be on par with any Columbia River bar crossing I've ever done, but we made it and then were in the smooth water of the ICW headed south. We spent that night at the Sanibel Island Yacht Club, which turns out to be more of a dinner club than yacht club. but it's right next door to the Tween Waters Inn with it's lively restaurant and bar scene. It was a fun evening.
The next day we avoided the north wind on the Gulf and motored north along the ICW. We pulled in for the night at The Crows Nest next to Venice Inlet. Another enjoyable evening with live music at the Crows Nest Lounge.
The next day, our last, we continued motoring up the ICW all the way back to his home slip at Pasadena Marina. Good trip.
