I’ve been boating in both Germany and Florida for years. I hold international licenses to operate vessels up to 50 feet under sail or power, and I’ve even taught sailing in Berlin. My wife is a certified SCUBA instructor here in Miami. Together, we spend nearly every weekend on (or under) the water—from Boynton Beach to the Keys.
This blog is where we share what we’ve learned, what we wish we’d known earlier, and what works best in real life.
