25 May 2011
Denise and Jesse Hollis from New York joined Sunshine Coast Adventures in the Florida Keys for a seven day live-aboard sailing adventure 19-25 May 2011. This dynamic couple immediately took to the skills and cruising lifestyle, showing enthusiasm for not only the sailing, but also the fishing and especially the marine life and beauty of the Florida Straits and Florida Bay. The wind forecast called for moderate easterlies for the duration of the trip, so after one night anchoring at Tavernier Key on the "ocean side," we decided to head down to Channel Five and cruise the Intra-Coastal Waterway on the "bay side." Our bay side anchorages included Shell Key, Bottle Key, NE corner of Barnes Sound, and Pumpkin Key. We had terrific weather with warm sunny days and comfortable evenings allowing for good sleeping with the hatches open :)
Congratulations to Denise and Jesse for completing their certifications and thank you for a great trip!
