So right now I feel as though I have been living the best of all of the worlds that I love - sailing, interior design, and webpage/social media design. These last few weeknds have been full of sailing, friends, and road trips to all parts of south Florida. Pictures below of this past weekend (where it was blowing over 30 and we succussfully sailed halfway through the channel leading into the visitor's center - no engine on mind you!) and of New Years weekend where we sailed, powerboated, lit fireworks, and met new friends both from the sailing, kayaking, and park ranger departments.

Happy New Year!!

We sailed on a "colgate 26" similar to the one I stole from Google images here

Check out the latest video on our trip along the intercoastal waterway from Miami, FL to Oriental NC. We taught American Sailing Association courses while tasting the lifestyle of true cruisers as we explored historical waterfront towns and met other cruisers. Enjoy!

We have been helping to fill out our schedules by filling in here and there on Harold's new branch of day sails touring Biscayne National Park. We load up sailboats with kaysks, paddle boards, and snorkel gear spending 2 hours sailing out to our island park destinations, 2 hours visiting the island / playing in the water and 2 hours sailing back. Harold runs these trips out of the Biscayne National park visitors center in Homestead with up to 6 passengers onboard. On weekdays we visit my favorite island, Boca Chita.

On most days, there is only one boat scheduled for the day so we run Adventurer, a 45' Gulfstar but if its fully booked we include our old boat, Morning g Dance a 41' Morgan Outisland into the mix.

Heading into town!

S/V Barefoot on her mooring ball for the next two nights

We had spent the weeks before fixing her interior up - cleaning up all the mold, trash and debris that was left in her form the previous owners.
After a lot of scrubbing, 3 loads of laundry, and 6 trash bags later we finally got her interior worthy of few photographs.

She still has a ways to go, but hopefully by the end of the summer she will be where we want her to be. Her exterior is currently undergoing a new paint job with new non-skid and fresh varnish - pics to come soon of our progress!

S/V Loki "After" we wished we would have snapped a few photos "Before" but by the time we remembered it was too late.

Looking forward

Beautiful sunset once returning.
