Florida's nickname is "The Sunshine State" Not always true in winter, as you can see. We were anchored on our Skoota 28 powercat at Peck Lake, just south of Stuart. A strong cold front passed through and we had squalls/rainbows/wind for two days. Pretty miserable for all the boats at anchor

Some people buy a boat before knowing what it takes to sail and maintain it. Different rig options require more or less physical labor. For example, we have slab reefing allowing us to sail faster due to a fully battened main HOWEVER we have to climb into the boom to straighten the sail before covering it. Alternatively, having a main that can be furled requires much less effort (but the boat goes a wee bit slower). Make sure you are happy with what it takes to make a boat work…with so many options, there’s a right boat for you. :) #sailinglife #sailing #sailboat
