Winter is over and its finally time to move on and pick up the Loop. The Florida Keys are a treasure and we could not have asked for a better few months. The weeks flew by as we filled our days with fitness, family, and friends ~ old & new! When we weren’t entertaining we were busy with daily bike rides to pickleball or yoga, dining with fellow Loopers and Cruisers, with a little bit of Sea C boat maintenance & Sea Converting work peppered in there…..But now its time to MOVE ON, next stop….the BERMUDA TRIANGLE…gulp.
Sam, Scott & Carly! From Islamorada to Key West, we sure packed a lot into a few days.

Keeping an eye out for crab pots as we cruise Dingy Day with college BFF, Kathy, is complete with manatee sightings, bottoming out in the shallows & derelict boat sightings. Kathy get’s a Sea C Rider shirt for staying overnight (3 nights) on the boat!
