Florida Keys April Boat Trip

After an extremely windy winter we are breaking out the boat for a trip to the Florida Keys.  We will be taking off at first light on April 13th, 2016.  The week before every major boat trip is very busy with list making, shopping, packing, a little boat maintenance and all the last minute items that need attending to when you are going to be gone for several weeks.

Our itinerary, given fair weather and good seas, consists of first day Punta Gorda, FL to Marco Yacht Club on Marco Island, FL.  That should be about a 4 - 5 hours trip cruising along the coast in the Gulf of Mexico.   Day two our plan is to go across Florida Bay to Marathon Yacht Club in Marathon, FL where we will spend about 3 weeks hanging, reading, snorkeling (maybe even scuba diving) and generally living aboard our 38 ft. Sea Ray Sundancer named Dream Chaser.
