Linda and Steve from the Woodlands, Texas joined us to continue their quest to find out more about sailing! They had recently completed their ASA 101 last fall, and decided to get three days of more sail time on a live-aboard adventure. It was their first time visit to the Keys area and the weather complimented out adventure by providing 10-15 knot winds to practice the ASA 103 sailing skills. Water temperature was 85 degrees - great for a nice dip, and sea kayaking to nearby Tavernier and Indian Keys in the early evening and morning. The last day we headed out to the "blue water" to catch more wind, and then beam reached back to Tavernier making home port to finish up by practice docking skills.
