Back In Our Element - But Without ELEMENTS!! (MJ Sailing - Ep 176)

As you know, we’ve been waiting quite some time for the new catamaran to arrive. So why not spend that time sailing?

When our friend Jeff asked if we’d like to spend a little time in sunny Florida, (and why not?, the snow had just arrived to Annapolis) we jumped at the chance to help him get his Catalina 36 further down the coast and into warm weather.

Since the Gulf Stream was pushing very close to the coast of Florida, and to a potential inlet point of Cape Canaveral, we planned to enter in St. Augustine. That would mean approximately 115 miles and 24 hours out in the open ocean. To make things even more fun, we had a buddy boat for the trip! Taylor and her mom, of @TaylorsTravels .

Join us for Part 1 of this journey, where we get back into our element – even if it is on someone else’s boat. Sigh – I do miss that sound of wind and water surrounding us.

We hope you enjoy!!

Much love from the Atlantic!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
