Sail La Vie Cruising Plans for next month

Sun or Mon leave Pasadena Yacht Club in Gulport to start our adventures with Sail La Vie in her second season.  For the first 3 days we plan to stay local, first stop will be Egmont our little nature island about an hour away for our home port.  Then we are going to Jewfish anchorage in Long Boat Keys for a day.  Moving down the path towards Key West, our next stop will be Sarasota and we will probably plan to stay there for a few days, it is going to rain a little at that time so we should stay put in the bad weather.  Naples will be our next place to visit, I love Naples, it is a great place to ride your bikes and shop.  It is a very cute little town, but a little expensive.  From Naples we plan to go to Marco Island and we may do another provisioning run for more groceries there.  Then we will be doing an overnighter to Marathon.  From here we will go to the Alantic side of the Keys and check out Key Largo.  We are going to check out one of the Dry storage areas there for a place to possibly leave the boat on the hard next season, if we like it better than St. Augustine.  We loved the town of St. Augusting with all of the historical homes and buildings, there was so much to see.  We rode our bikes all around town and had so much fun.  Now the Storage Yard was ok, it did take a lot of Catamarans which was nice to see.  The prices were reasonable and it would work ok for us other than it is 2 days sail from where we want to be next season.  Key Largo is just across the Gulfstream from so it is an easy way to get to the Bahamas fast.  So basically it will depend on how we like Key Largo and if we feel safe leaving our boat there for next season.  Today we met with Cam to discuss the Bahamas and it sounded so exciting.  Cam was very enthusiastic  about the island and the places to see and food to eat.  He gave us a lot of recommendations on where to anchor and where to eat and of course where to have a sunset cocktails and rum punch.  The place sounds fantastic, he said we would love it and would probably want to come back every year.  I hope so, it would be a great place for us to hang out season after season. I am sure Brad will find a place to Kiteboard, there is plenty of wind in the islands, so he should be happy.  As long as the boat is in good shape we should be good to go.  Let the adventures begin...  See ya on the waters.
