This cruising season proved very different for Phillip and me. For our first nine years cruising, when we headed out for offshore voyages, Phillip and I, aboard Plaintiff’s Rest, used to cruise the west coast of Florida and cross the Gulf of Mexico down to the Keys. This year, however, we started our cruising season very far from home—in Annapolis, MD—and cruised, for the first time, down the east coast of the U.S. What did we learn along the way? Check out our top three lessons learned along the way on the HaveWind blog today! Our First Time Cruising Down the East Coast (NC to FL): Top 3 Lessons Learned. #havewindwilltravel

When a Wednesday night regatta comes racing right through your anchorage! Free happy hour entertainment! This was some sporty sailing (in 18-20 knots of breeze) and they were really showing off their keels. So fun to see them zip right around UbiQ on the hook near Vilano Beach in St. Augustine. Sail on racers!! ⛵ #havewindwilltravel #regatta

May 7, 2016. Watching the Kentucky Derby 🐎 on a friend’s boat while anchored at Ft. McRee. What a fantastic memory. Time flies! (But you’re the pilot 😉) #havewindwilltravel #ftmcree

Sometimes I see a photo of myself and wonder how this could possibly be my life. My amazing life … 🥰 but then I remember it’s all about choices, and hard work, and a lot of luck and I’m just grateful. This me, my world, and the life that I’ve built. I’ll be turning forty this month and, looking back, I think I’ve done pretty darn good! Bring on the next 40! #noregrets #havewindwilltravel

Salty sailors converge in Key West! It seems many roads cross here. Ran into BaBaLu (to my right) two slips down from us at the City Marina in Key West Bight and Russ (to my left) who captains the Appledore Star schooner there. Russ helped us re-build our stringers and mast step on our Niagara back in 2016 and BaBaLu is a long-time fellow Pensacola sailor whom crossed wakes with for years. So fun to get this salty crew back together in funky Key West! #havewindwilltravel #keywest #pensacola #sailors

Turns out 46’ is a whole lot more than 35’. Just completed my first solo bottom scrub on UbiQ. She’s got an impressive hull done there but a BIG one. Whew! This little scrubber was tuckered afterward. Time for a drink! 🍷 And a shower. 🚿 Maybe in that order. 😜#havewindwilltravel #outbound46 #bottomjob
