March Madness ~ The Admiral

We’ve had such a busy month, this is the first time I’ve had to sit down and write. The big news of late is that we have our full crew on board! Welcoming Mate Brandon and Commodore Peggy, who will be staying for a couple months. Brandon was only able to squeeze in his week of spring break from school but any time he can visit is a blessing. So needless to say, we’re pushing the limits on this old 41’ but she’s working just fine with all of us here.

We decided to leave the safety and expense of the marina and anchor off Captain’s resort job for awhile. His commute just went from 90 minutes to a 2 minute dingy ride! Not too shabby. Our trip down river was great, No Más ran beautifully and we didn’t run into any trouble. Mate Brandon was even able to take the helm and Dolphin Dani was able to make full use of the hammock turned swing!

Once securely anchored off Captiva in Roosevelt Channel, the manatees were quick to welcome us! We had about 6 all swimming around our boat, checking out the new guy. Here's some footage B managed to get of them.

We have been busing playing all week and instead of writing about it, I’ll just post some pictures we took.
Safe seas and God Bless.
