TSR024 Cruising Biscayne Bay / Miami

In this episode, we review our recent sailing trip over 4th of July weekend cruising around Biscayne bay in Miami. Intro News We released new YouTube videos!  We have a video of how we have our boat setup form cruising showing the interior and exterior setup.   We also have the first video produced by Brandy!  She released a video of our trip cruising near Ft. Desoto / St. Petersburg, Florida and the Everglade Challenge sailing race where small sailboats and paddlers travel 300 miles down to the Florida Keys. We are catching up on releasing podcasts.  Our goal is to release two a month, we have ten so far this year, so we are two behind but we plan to catch up over next couple months. We have some great interviews coming up with the Crew of Follow the Boat and another we a trailer sailor that did some extensive cruising before moving to an offshore cruising boat. This weekend we are cruising the St. Johns River and anchoring in Silver Glen Springs.   Come out and join us if you are in the area.  You can drive to the county park and wade out to the boats. Biscayne Bay cruising review We originally planned to go to the Ft. Pierce and Stewart area, but the disgusting blue green algae bloom changed our plans.  The impact we have on ecosystems is very sad. We decided to head further south and cruise around Biscayne Bay in Miami, a great cruising ground with beautiful water and great sailing. We will add detail notes and links on the trip in the next few days.  We ran out of time before releasing the episode.
