What an epic day out on the water! We hoisted the sails in Marathon and pointed the bow toward Key Largo, riding a steady 10-12 knots of breeze right on the beam. With the sails trimmed just right, we surged ahead at 7 knots SOG, slicing through water so clear and blue it felt like we were transported to the Bahamas.

It’s days like these that remind us why we love this life—perfect sailing conditions, breathtaking views, and the thrill of being carried by nothing but the wind. Now we’re comfortably anchored off Rodriguez Key, diving into that dreamy turquoise water to cool off and check on the sacrificial anodes. Good news: they’re holding strong!

Life doesn’t get much better than this—sailing, swimming, and soaking up the magic of the ocean. What’s next on this adventure? 🌊⛵️

And because the day treated us to such incredible sailing, here’s a little bonus video—a snapshot, if you will—hopefully capturing the magic of that smooth, glorious sail we enjoyed.
