Going Back for Seconds!

Rereading our last post, “[w]e probably won't cruise on Threesome for more than two weeks next time”, oh how we lied! Apparently enough time can pass to make you forget about all those lessons that you learned from the first cruise.

We have 40 days in Florida planned over the next couple months to keep ourselves out of the Michigan cold. How did we manage all this vacation time? Well I was accepted at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and I start June 12^th. I decided after my first semester of grad school at Wayne State University that it didn't make sense to stay in the program for the spring semester. Fortunately, Scott is in his off-season with his day (night) job on the Detroit Princess. His real estate business is busy and pushing forward without him, luckily Scott can handle almost everything from his phone (with a little help from Uncle Giovanni).

We've already taken two trips down to Florida this winter. In our first trip we towed Threesome down and put her in storage in Punta Gorda, we received our new dinghy in the mail and blew it up, and we spent some time with friends in Estero. 

Our second trip was just a sabbatical from the Michigan snow. We spent ten days in Punta Gorda with Jim and Carol. Jim was the Captain of the Lee Tregurtha while Scott was a cadet. We had a great time taking their powerboat out for canal cruises, a trip to Cayo Costa, and exploring Charlotte Harbor. We also had the pleasure of sailing a Morris 29 with one of Jim's friends, which was probably the highlight of our trip. Oh, and between the two of us we gained 9lbs. Yeah, we ate well.

Ready for our upcoming adventure, 

Lauren & Scott
