Have Trailer, Will Cruise

It's not too late to escape your cold climate and get some good sailing in this winter in warmer waters south. The Florida Keys are one of the best sailing areas in the U.S., and if you have a trailerable sailboat, you can avoid airfare and expensive charter rates. With some trepidation I'll disclose the secret of one of the best sailing destination marinas in the Lower Keys: Bahia Honda State Park's boat basin. The island's campground is one of the country's most desirable winter spots, and almost impossible to get into, but the marina seldom fills and is perfect for trailerable sailboats. It's so great it's worth buying a boat (big enough to sleep aboard) just to get into this sailing heaven! Tempted? Read all about it.
