S01E07 - Sailing, Swimming, Dolphins, & Outboard Issues

Continuing our journey on our Seawind 1160, up the Gulf Coast of Florida. We finally get a chance to put up the sails on the new boat! If we had the dogs aboard too, we'd actually be true to our name. ;) It was a leisurely day of sailing and motorsailing up to Cayo Costa State Park where we spent the night at anchor. On the way we took a swim off the boat in the most beautifully calm water, and Josh inspected the hulls from sea level. I had fun giving the GoPro Hero5 its first splash around, both while swimming and dangling from the boat - I'm yet to figure out the best angle for those cool through-the-water shots though. I also, finally, saw some dolphins close-up. I wasn't sure if I'd captured them on camera, but you get to see them briefly. I grin like a kid in a candy store every time I see these beautiful creatures, although I had to laugh when Josh proclaimed that Florida is "dirty with dolphins". I'm definitely the more excitable one ? After a relaxing sail, we decided to take the dinghy to shore to explore the town, but we were faced with yet more engine issues - this time the outboard was the culprit. We'll be having it inspected and hopefully repaired or cleaned soon. The pups will be joining our voyages in April. And we'll make sure to give you a peek at them over the winter months in Boston.
