Coconut Grove Sailing Club


We've been at Coconut Grove since Sunday. It was warm and sunny on Sunday and now it is cold and sunny. Hi 30's at night and mid 60's during the day with strong north winds. Lots of Bahama bound boats sitting around waiting for a window. If they don't want to get beat up, it could be a long wait.

We head out tomorrow for the Hawk Channel and plan to be in Marathon on Friday or Saturday.

We have really enjoyed our stay at the CGSC. It is an all sailboat club which offers moorings to guest boats even if they have no club affiliation. Since we do have a club affiliation, we can partake of the dining room and bar. The club has 5 Ensign Class boats and three Classic Choy Lee boats - two of which are pictured here. This place feels a lot like home and the members go out of their way to make us feel welcome. Carol especially likes the launch which runs 24/7 and is a lot easier to negotiate than the dinghy.

Hi, Carol and George - so glad you're having such a fabulous time and great weather. It was 19 degrees when I got up this morning, and it snowed during the lighted boat parade downtown this past Saturday. Stay warm, and travel safe.
