We finally are leaving Vero Beach and setting sail down the coast of Florida. We have sold and packed up our belongings to move aboard our new-to-us Lagoon 410 sailing catamaran. We have completed an inland shakedown cruise down the inter-coastal waterway and are now ready to do a coastal cruise shakedown down to Miami. My sister, Heather, flies in to join us as part of the crew. We leave her, the kids and pets behind for a few days and encounter some foul weather and rough seas while underway. We get to freshen up our navigation and sailing skills and learn how this vessel handles under sail. After a week sailing down the coast we get the kids and my sister back on board to sail down to Key Biscayne. We make it into No Name Harbor just in time for dinner after a nice sail down. We spend several days playing around and getting provisions waiting out weather. We start getting ready to make our first offshore sail over to the Bahamas. We are so grateful to be living our dream and look forward to sharing our journey with you. Thanks so much for joining us on our adventure!!
