Charter week of July 4th SWFL

[rwrose]

Thanks for all the advice. Thought I would share a few pics. Overall a great trip. I know this is not a sailboat forum, but the Helia 44 is quite a boat! Plenty of room for two families and surprisingly easy to handle in tight quarters even with a 25ft beam. There was not much wind all week, but we did manage to put the sails up once and make about 4.5 knots out in the gulf. Pelican Bay was great, until the ladies saw the alligator enter the water near the dock, then we had to leave. There was also a pretty severe red tide in the area which was unfortunate for the fish and us. Anyway, great time had by all.

Awesome boat! Glad y’all got to exercise the sails.
