One thing about being a yacht broker, I'm in Florida a lot and after driving in Texas for so many years, driving 4 hours (like where we live to Austin and an hour of that is getting out of Houston!), is nothing. So while I tend to fly in and out of Fort Lauderdale, a side trip (2.5 hours) to Fort Myers is not that hard to spend the weekend on Caya. John, who is also my companies Marketing Director, was with me to look over a few listings in Lauderdale and a beautiful Beneteau 44 CC that I sold the owners previously that they were living aboard in the mooring field in Marathon. And while in Marathon we also were looking over some marinas to put Caya in later this spring.

So we stayed 2 extra days and headed over to the boat just to do a little maintenance and also check out some of the marinas down on Fort Myers Beach in case we wanted to move the boat there this summer to be closer to open water.

The boat really needed nothing so we did just about nothing as well but did get a small seam in the mainsail repaired by probably the only local sail maker
www.sailrepairfortmyers.com , Kurt, who did a great and fast 3 hour turnaround job.

That and we got the max prop and bow thruster zincs checked by www.adamscommercialdivinginc.com. Note to others. Alwyas have your own zincs and make sure they are the right ones. The divers appreciate that. I keep 3 sets on Caya. Or as John says I have more on Caya than he does on his Morgan 41, but then again I don't have to go to West Marine for many things part wise.

Overall it was a productive few days.
