I am the other half of "toesinsand"! Mel7498 and I have single accounts, but then we have a couple account and use it for other purposes when we need the couple! It is great having Mel7498 as a partner so that I can give her an all expense paid vacation to where ever she wants! We can make toes curl!

This topic sounds delicious! Love sailing, boating, and water. The keys are beautiful. I love being a single in the lifestyle but sometimes it would be great to enjoy these great 'couples' experiences. Hope you all are able to go and have fun!

We would love to....unfortunately we will be away sailing the Dalmations in Croatia. We have 32 crazies on 4 huge cats. the group has been to Granada, BVI, the Cyclades (Greece), Belize, and soon Croatia. We are one of the resident skippers. Many would consider any of these trips of a trip of a lifetime. Most of our shipmates are business owners, minor celebrities, or ex-professional athletes that have never had to count their money, much less watch where they spend it. We wish this were us, but the only reason its feasible for us to go is because we are both highly trained and experienced sailors, so we get a big discount to skipper and oversee navigation and so forth. Anyway, we've been trying to organize trips where money IS an object. California, Florida, Puget Sound/Inside passage, East coast waterways, there are many sailing destinations in the states worth seeing. We live on the central coast and have sailed up and down the coast many times, plus out to catalina & channel islands, etc. Our question for you guys- is this a one-time gig or are you looking at ongoing sailing adventures?

Nice!
Dry Tortugas was on the top of our list at the time we wanted to do it.
It was long time ago and the only rental we could find at the time was in Ft. Mayers
which made the sail a long trip.
It was a time when we were inspired by Mel Fisher adventure and his Atocha discovery
in this region.
We were very young than and long time before our own "treasure discovery"....
The lifestyle ..... hehehe.
Needless to say we never made it and it reminds a fantasy.
It would be nice to multiply pleasures and go on the trip with the great company.
Have a Great New Year Everybody.

Matt & Eva

hi.bill and diane here.we have done this about 5 times.we would be interested in making the trip.let us know and see if we can put something together.thanks

We would be interested in being shipmates if later in june.

Years ago during "Vanilla" times we were houseboats enthusiasts. At that time we found one operation around Florida Keys and wanted to go, but closer research wasn't encouraging so we never went. Still the desire to explore Keys, Bahamas, French Antilles or anywhere using larger vessel stayed with us. For years we had the same desire what you have. Chartering bareboat, either motor yacht or catamaran with four cabins, and four couples was our fantasy. Unfortunately or fortunately the closest we ever got to fulfilling it, was a Lifestyle Cruise. Is it possible to find four couples who would like to spend a week together without knowing each other first? We lost this hope but than again......maybe?

Blondie...
Nice fanny pic at marina...is that from the Gallleon in Key West?
