We went to a sand bar and scooped up live sand dollars (carefully) and a huge whelk and whelk eggs.

We'll be back with her next year!!!

This year I kept the streak alive with a charming overnight stay onboard the Dream Lover. Our hosts, Kay & Jonathan (yes, that's Captain Cook) and their dog Skipper welcomed us aboard like long lost family. We enjoyed a beautiful breezy afternoon chatting topside over a nice glass of wine and some snacks. Kay and Jonathan gave us lots of suggestions for places to dine and we spent the evening exploring the area. Later that night after dinner we lounged on deck - enjoying the night air. Our accommodations in the captains quarters gave us a first hand taste of what living on a boat is like from the gentle rocking and splashing sounds against the hull to the unusual blender-like action when you flushed the head (that's boating lingo for toilet to you land lubbers!) Just two blocks off the sand, we took a 3 mile walk on the beach the next morning and came back to a wonderful breakfast and generous amounts of coffee! Then Jonathan treated us to a little tour in and around the surrounding marinas on their dinghy Bad Dog. It was the perfect way to cap off the stay. If you are looking for a unique place, if the idea of life on a boat intrigues you, if you are willing to exchange the cookie cutter experience of a chain motel for a one of a kind, authentically nautical overnight experience (with all the quirks that entails) this is the place for you.

Breakfast was to die for, and the wine a fantastic added bonus;-) I have never felt more at home while on vacation- and that is NOT an exaggeration! The boat is well kept, clean, and oh so comfortable. It was such a unique way to spend our anniversary- I cannot wait to bring our daughter back for a weekend adventure and would recommend a stay to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

We couldn't have asked for a better evening; the weather was beautiful, the company was great, and most importantly, the Captain and crew were absolutely wonderful. We boarded promptly at 5pm. After going over some of the basic safety procedures, we were under way for a relaxing sail into Sarasota Bay. The crew, which consisted of Catherine, was very knowledgeable about the area and the boat we were sailing. The Captain, Kurt, was extremely friendly all the while he was maintaining a safe operation. During our sail, we managed to spot a manatee, several dolphin, a sting ray, and numerous bird life in the bay. I have to say, this part of Florida is just filled with natural beauty between the wildlife and the habitat around it. Although we did not venture too far from the home port, none of us seemed to have a care in the world, and for three hours, any thoughts of the real world melted away. I would highly recommend this sailing charter to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. Actually, I recommend this charter to anyone and everyone. This is truly an experience to remember.
