(Podcast) Sailing Overnight from Fort Myers to Key West, Florida

Written By Matt

Season 2, Episode 8.

Have you ever wanted to sail at night? Offshore? Okay — maybe that’s not for you, but how about a trip to Key West? This episode covers that and a little more.

Key West has been a major sailing hub for hundreds of years, and to some it’s a country unto itself — yes, that would be the Conch Republic. We also get into our voyage-planning process, with links to the resources we mention in the list below. Safety, weather, route planning, standing watch, seasickness — we touch on all of it and much more.

Join our family as we discover some of the history of these famous pirate waters!

Referenced in this episode: Navionics; PredictWind; Windy; the American Sailing Association; Garmin inReach; the Astral kids’ PFD; and “A Brief History of Key West.”

Kayaking, climbing, hiking, sailing, SUP, cooking, life is an adventure and one of my greatest joys is to bring my family and friends along.  Life is meant to be lived!!!
