2-Day Couples Sailing Vacation in the Florida Keys

Update 10 May 2011

Many thanks to Danish and Lamar for sending along some photos from their memorable adventure :)


A rarely seen view of Indian Summer II taken from the perspective of the snorkeler.


The monkeys guard the newly de-corked libation as it breathes.


Another fine gourmet meal at sea. Who says we have to rough it out here?


Gifts for the monkeys: Custom tailored hat and blanket will keep them warm in the higher latitudes.

21-22 April 2011

Danish ("Pumpkin") and Lamar ("Mister") Harrell from mid-coast Florida drove down to join Sunshine Coast Adventures for a 2-day sailing, snorkeling, and kayaking vacation aboard Indian Summer II. This was the first time they had been on a trip by themselves since their 2-1/2 year old twins were born. Clearly they were ready for some adult time and eagerly seized every opportunity to have fun and relax.

The weather was perfect: Mostly sunny with winds 15-20 knots from the east; daytime temperatures in mid-80's, nighttime mid 70's; water temperature 81F. Overnight anchorage SW side of Rodriguez Key. Snorkeling at Molasses Reef.

It was great having you aboard! Thank you very much :)

Lamar and Danish enjoy the smooth sailing


Time to check out the island with the kayak


"We could get used to this lifestyle!"


Gearing up for snorkeling at Molasses Reef


Blue water and infinite visibility! :)


"Someone has to do all the 'work'..."


"...while others take it easy..."


Another perfect day in paradise. Sunset at Rodriguez Key. Sailing adventure in the Florida Keys.


"Dear Jeff,

What a beautiful sailing experience! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and also letting us play. I enjoyed learning and unwinding. We hope to see you again soon and head out on a longer trip...

Thank you so much,
Danish & Mister"
