Start by finding a structurally sound boat and addressing common issues like soft decks, keel bolts, and steering through DIY repairs learned from online tutorials. Enroll in a sailing school and work toward a recognized certification such as ASA or RYA, gaining real-world practice through local courses and short trips until you’re confident as a skipper. Unless you're crazy and want to try to do it yourself like everyone else and learn the ropes. Plan your route—most often from ICW to Florida across the Gulf Stream—taking into account weather windows, navigation, and safety protocols to ensure a smooth and enjoyable passage to the Bahamas. :) Message us with any questions or subscribe/check out our channel!

Our first sail on Moments in Time alone, with no agenda to follow. We sailed across the Chesapeake Bay in the cloudy skies and spitting rain. We changed course and decided to head up the Patuxent River in the dying winds and made it to St. Leonard Creek sailing at 2.5 knots in a 4-5 knot zephyr. We dropped anchored in St. John’s Creek, christened Moments in Time with some champaign and celebrated our 39th anniversary with a nice meal that was cooked on the Seawind 1260 cockpit grill. Not a bad day by any means. Subscribe and share the adventure! Become part of the conversation by liking https://www.facebook.com/SV.MomentsInTime/
