In Key West, we also had our first visits from friends and family. Our friends Sherri and Cory came down for Sherri’s birthday via the Key West Express out of Fort Myers. How cool is that?! A few weeks later, these two crazy kids got engaged! Inspired by this...
Stuff We Do
Cruising and the like
SV Jade and the Broken Down Outboard
Back aboard Holiday, we also made some great friends in Key West. My favorite part of cruising! We spent some fun times with Ren, Ashley, and Ani that grabbed a mooring ball next to ours aboard their trimaran Jade. Apparently, we were having so much fun that we forgot...
