Cruising top to bottom of Biscayne Bay, Florida: The Sailing Rode

[@sbgorges]

We went down to Keys 4 years ago and fell in love with that part of Florida. Did not get to go sailing. Looking forward next year on spending some back down there with the Grandkids.

Well we did it. Just picked up our 2006 MacGregor 26M! Your tips have been very helpful..

The planes that passed you in the water was the Blue Angels for the Fourth of July. Their base is in Pensacola Florida. Nice vedio of sailing ⛵️

Great video guys! Keep them coming 😃

[@AppleRob]

We’re think of heading out and maybe camping at Elliott Key or Boca Chita for a weekend. What time of year did you guys go?

[@thesailingrode1817]

The Adventures of Apple & Rob I think we went in the fall, cannot remember.

Great video. It looks like you always have a reef in the main. What wind speed do you have to reef it. I am thinking of purchasing a MAC 26.

[@thesailingrode1817]

Jim Campbell We reef about 10kn of wind. I have had a reef in the last 6 months as we have a small tear at the bottom of the main that we need to get fixed. Also, we are not in a hurry to get anywhere and is it always more comfortable to sail without excessive heel.

Considering this boat. We are on Tampa Bay and would keep it in the water behind our house. Have you ever crossed the bay in it? How long did it take powering and what speed? 14-16kts? Thank you.

[@JiggyC]

Did u end up buying one?

[@robhtwo]

@@JiggyC sadly no. I found a few I liked and we ended up moving and there is a 9ft bridge between us and the open water now. So, we have a deck boat instead. 😔
