The happy couple


Kevin and Bryce on the bow Sprit

A lovely couple who found me on the internet.They came all the way from Pompano to sail with me. This was a birthday present from Bryce to Kevin. His 34th birthday. He had no idea where he was going. We left about 4 pm, sailed by Key Biscayne and Stiltsville. There was alot of activity at Stiltville. Dick's house had a party, and few others had some activities. One house had a brand new blue paint job and that was good to see. The wind was up and down, varied from 22K to only 5, but for the most part it was a breezy day. A great day to teach Kevin how to sail. He really did a great job. By the end of the day he was steering RA like a natural. They hope to make sailing part of their life. We came back to the dock shortly after 10 pm. What a great sail! I wish them all the best.

Here is what Bryce wrote:
Let us start off with the stil boat is absoulutely beautiful. Our Captain Asaad is as professional and friendly as you could possibly get. He has the knowledge and the know how to make a great voyage as he did for us. This will be my husband's most memorable birthday ever.
Thank you
Kevin and Bryce

Jo and Mary Ann 0n the Helm 

A lovely couple from New York, he is a dairy farmer, and she is a Cardiac Nurse. New wonderful relationship. Looking to start a new exciting life that includes sailing in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. He wanted to learn how to sail, so I tried to give them a sailing lesson aboard the RA. It was a beautiful fall cool day with brisk 10-15 Knots of wind.
