August 9th, 2008, Anita & Hallvard of Norway



They came all the way from Norway to experience sailing on our beautiful Miami's Biscayne Bay.The wind was up. steady 18-20 Knots. we sailed with the main, Mizzen and staysail. During the trip we had a squale that packed over 30 knots, so we dropped the stay and the mizzen. On the way back we raised them again. Hal is a great sailor, and he helped manage the boat. he actually enjoyed the little storm and admired how the boat was so stable during that blow. Here is what Anita wrote: Thank you for making my 40th birthday celebration a very pleasant day on the bay leaving the rain in the city,
Regards, Anita and Hallvard de Bruyn, and family

August ,6&7, 2008, Geevy Thomas & Family





Geevy Thomas wanted to have the children experience a real outdoor adventure. So he decided to take the family for an over night trip on Miami's Biscayne bay to Boca Cheeta. We left about 10:30 in the morning, the weather was gentle, just enough breeze to get the boat sailing. we sailed all the way to Boca Cheeta. We got there about 4 pm. early enough for every body to enjoy a snorkel. They saw a sea star, lobsters and a big Couda. Young J.W was really excited.. In the morning they were in the water even before breakfast. On our way back it was so still, the bay was like glass and we had to motor. the good news was they were seeing the bottom, like floating over a seaquarium. we also located couple pods of dolphins and we spent considerable time chasing them. every body really enjoyed the dolphins.
here is what Audry wrote: Thank you captain, I had a wonderful 2 day trip. It was amazing. We saw so many things. Oh and thank you for taking us to see the dolphins and letting me drive the boat, Love Audry Thomas, J.W Thomas & Geevy and Elizabeth Thomas

My daughter Isis was in town and coincidentally I was at the Miami Beach Chamber breakfast, So I was able to invite a few friends from the Chamber to join us for a spin on Miami's Great Biscayne Bay. Isis invited my grand children, and Michelle and Tali from San Francisco. We were lucky with the weather. It was sunny with gentle breeze.

July 4th, 2008, Teri Weinstein




Teri wanted to watch the fireworks from the middle of our great Miami's Biscayne Bay.
We left the dock about 6 pm, with a pleasant overcast and gentle breeze. we sailed south for a while, then we encountered a large pod of dolphins in the middle of the bay. My guests got excited and requested that we go towards them. It was really a wonderful encounter with these great playful mamals. Every body enjoyed the live wild show. Then the wind shifted and we had to drop the sails and begin our return towards town. We had great displays of fireworks form all directions, particularly Key Biscayne, Virginia Key and Down town Miami. Then on our final leg towards Dinner Key Marina there was such a wonderful close encounter of displays from Coconut Grove. Here is what they wrote in the Ship's Log:
Captain Asaad: Thank you for providing us with a totally memorable holiday. You found all the fireworks and gave us smooth sailing. We had a wonderful time. Again Thank you
