It’s so wonderful to know that Splendid is splendidly under way. Hope you have enough wind to truly sail down and feel how graceful she is on the water. Today is the beginning of your enjoyment of the fruits of your labor.

My first trip on Splendid was to Key West. I took a week off after closing, as did my boyfriend. He’s suggested we to to the keys, and I was afraid that was too aggressive a shake down, so we were going to work our way north to St Petersburg.

I closed on the house on Friday morning, the boat on that afternoon, and that evening we left the dock at the house, and anchored out in Charlotte Harbor. The next morning we went to Pelican Bay. Sunday we were going out Boca Grande pass and he asked why we weren’t going to the keys, and I couldn’t come up with a good answer, so we headed south. During the night he realized it was in impulsive move – but too late. Coming back it was 4th of July week end. At sunset there was lightening in every direction. We got hit about 1 am off Cape Romano, where the shoal area really lets storms kick up. He was so scared he wanted me to call a may day. I knew we’d be OK, and it was too bad a storm to be rescued, even if we’d needed a rescue. That relationship didn’t last long after that!

I love the way Key West appears on the horizon, and it’s such a long way down that channel that I always got restless. Hope you get a chance to go to the Tortugas before heading to Cuba. Wonderful snorkeling there.
