Small Boat Warning!

On Saturday we did a short boat trip with our friends, Kurt, Melissa and Pammy Collins. They brought their new 17 ft. center console, Key West, down from St. Cloud and we took our ‘Go Gator’ , putting in at Davis Island again.
Did a beautiful tour around the Harbour Island area and then headed to our favorite Marina in Rukin.... Bahia Resort and Marina.
Taking Cut C south in the Cruise Boat channel in 17 and 19 ft. boats is quite an adventure. The wake level from all the big vessels could be dangerous to ones boat health! Cpt. Kurt did a bit of playful running at 45mph.....actually chasing the sea gulls that were trailing behind some of the big vessels.
We plotted along at 28 to 30 mph....staying at the peripheral of the big wakes...enjoying the perfect weather of the day.
We cruised around three Marinas...checking facilities and doing boat window-shopping.
Saw some beauties that’s for sure.
Ate delicious blackened grouper at the Captains Quarters Rest. on the Bahia Marina docks and put our names on the ’wait list’ for permanent slip dockage. New Resort owners are doing some renovation therefore it will be early 2004 before we can make our big boat moves from Kissimmee River Park to the ’West Coast’...
Having perfect weather and a delightful day we returned back to Davis Island and loaded out.
Grilling steaks at home tasted wonderful after a day of salty sea air..
Yes, we really enjoy The Good Life small boating adventures with nautical family and friends....and MORE to come!!!
