This is a follow up to a previous video about our decision to purchase a charter boat in The Moorings Yacht Ownership program.

This episode recaps our short, hot not so much sailing trip in the Lower Keys and Key West to wrap up our summer. I talk about our itinerary, sailing conditions and some of the best snorkeling we've ever seen!

This episode has a lot of visual elements. Check out the video version here: https://youtu.be/3YCM22jv9q4

In this episode, we sit on a mooring ball, waiting on a tech boat and to find out what the rest of our charter would look like. We also have a great meal ashore at Lovango Cay, learn Tripp's foolproof way to eat a great meal and run into "Captain Crack Sparrow!"

In this episode, I discuss the tools and workflow that I use to capture the details of our sailing trips. It took three charter trips to find the best solution for me, so I thought I would share it here.
