Bill Cassara, wife Kim, Daughter Paige and son Dixon, came to Miami from Augusta, Georgia. Bill used to live in Miami and is not a stranger to Biscayne Bay. So he wanted to share his past sailing experience with his family. It was a windy day. . I raised the main and the staysail. Every body loved it, especially Dixon, who did enjoy the power and speed while he was on the helm. Young Paige though was a little uncomfortable, so we opted to furl the stay, and just go with the main.

Here is what Dixon wrote:
Great trip, thank you, driving the ship was fun
