The full Crew and the Captain upon Arrival 


The group with the first mate Marcus 

Carrie Watson found me on the internet. She wanted to surprise her lovely family when they come to Miami. They did not know where or What they were doing until they arrived to the boat. What a wonderful family they are. All three Generations. They were huddled on the bow singing Christmas carols and having a ball.
We sure had plenty of wind for a great sail, but we did not have the Florida sun. The dolphins came out and everybody was excited to see them.
Here is what Jenny wrote:
Oh my Captain "A" and Marcus, although we are just a small part of a large family, our "family" was so lucky to be part of this wonderful experience. Thank you Captain, thank you Marcus and thank you "Carolyn Ann", for this memorable experience, Love
Jenny

Camila and the Captain



Miami Sky Line

Camila contacted the GMCVB, I received the info about her visit and invited her to see the best of Miami. She is here from Brazil to write about what to see and do in the Magic City. We went sailing and I also took her to the Christmas party of the GMCVB
at Nikki Beach. She was really impressed, particularly when the Major entertainment at the party was the dancing girls from Brazil.
Here is what Camila wrote on my log book
What a wonderful afternoon! Great view and very nice new friends to remember when in Brazil. I hope you have the chance to go there so I can return the pleasant trip
Best wishes,
Camila Pereira
