These pictures were taken during one of our Bareboat Certification courses. All of these photos were taken by our students. The location was the Florida Keys during March 2000.
As you view these pictures remember that other Dallas area sailing schools teach their Bareboat Certification courses on local area lakes. For over half a decade we have refuse to take that shortcut. Which school do you think produces the more qualified Bareboat Skippers?
This one week course & vacation began in Key West. We sailed the 70 miles to the Dry Tortugas where we spend a few days in a remote tropical setting. We visited Fort Jefferson which was built around the time of the civil war and is now a national park. We continued on to the West coast of Florida, enjoying the peaceful anchorages along the way.
Now, sit back and enjoy. ...then go out and create some pictures of your own!
