Our life on the water truly begins...

Our initial shakedown cruise was to familiar territories, the west coast of Florida from Punta Gorda to Pelican Bay in Cayo Costa State Park. It is a great protected anchorage. For $2.00 you get a a ride to the gulf side to walk the beach, pick up shells and swim. One day we saw hundreds of manta rays swimming up and down next to the shoreline of the beach... must have been driven by food or sex! Every day we learned something more about the boat..and all is good. There are many things that we would like to do to tweak this system or that one, but we have to keep telling ourselves, “They all don’t have to be done the first week!”
