Adventures with Skip

It was time for the afore-mentioned Regal yacht to be taken to St. Petersburg for shipping, so Skip invited us to go. A day on a new, big yacht? We threw our sailor's pride overboard and went over to the dark side.

We cruised up the intercoastal at 8 knots in the no-wake zones and 35 knots in between. Skip showed us all the anchorages not mentioned in the cruising guide. He also can identify every sailboat by make, model, and size from about a mile out. After pulling the boat we took off the 4 props (2 counter rotating per engine), and had lunch at a great water-side cafe where Rose joined us. Afterwards we helped (sorta) pack up the boat for travel.

I can heartly recommend the Regal 4460 to anyone looking for a superb motor yacht in the 500K+ range.
