Hello From Ontario, Canada !

[Sunflower1]

I am new to sailing and my boyfriend has experience. He hasn't had the opportunity to sail in a few years, but has now purchased a 29 foot Bayfield. He purchased it in Florida last winter so he was able to spend a few weeks down there, and sailed from northern Florida to the Keys. I joined him a couple times and loved it! We are heading to Florida in a couple weeks. The boat is dry docked in Tavernier in the Keys. We will be down there for 3 weeks and are planning to sail to the Dry Tortugas and Key West.
Looking forward to the adventure, and I keep saying I can only hope my employer will start offering year long sabbaticals as I will be the first to sign up, and have the opportunity to be a cruiser!!
Looking forwad to learning lots from this site, and will begin looking for some info on sailing the Keys!

Welcome, and where in Ontario might you be from as there of lots of Ontarioans in the sunny south there now, sailing in the area you speak of. Can forward you some contacts, if you so desire.

Aloha and Welcome aboard!
Hope you enjoy your newfound passion as much as I've enjoyed sailing.
