1. We were contacted by the new owners of Yumsuch. She was sold again. This time it is a young family in NJ. I was able to speak to them and it sounds like the right couple for the boat. The couple had been following our blog, while searching for a Nonsuch, and when Yumsuch came up for sale again, it was a no-brainer for them. Yammy and I have been sleeping better knowing that Yumsuch is back on active duty and being taken care of.
2. Yasmine Ann hit hit double digits. The elusive 10 knot barrier was broken on our sail from Lake Worth to Miami. Winds were at 60 -70 degrees, 12- 15 knots and gusting to 23 knots apparent. For us, it was one of those 2% days where all the elements created a perfect sailing day. We covered the 60 miles averaging 7.5 knots. Highest speed seen was 10.3 knots.

Kite fishing off of South Florida. This is an ancient Chinese method of getting the line out past the surf. Floridians are now using it to get up to 35 hooks (on this mega kite) away from the boat. We saw many boats with different size kites. The most common was a small orange kite.
