Catamaran Cruising Class
Monday, January 18, 2016Last week we had the pleasure of teaching a combined Bareboat Cruising Class, Coastal Navigation, and Catamaran Cruising on a Gemini 35, to previous customers of ours who sailed with us in North Carolina. We sailed out of Dinner Key Marina, just south of Miami, to the Florida Keys. We had strong winds which allowed us to sail all the way to Islamorada, Fl before having to turn around and head back North.
See photos below of highlights from our trip!
