BEAUTY of a day to Sea Trial. Helped a customer run a 35' Cabo through the paces today. JJ

Wow what a beautiful spring day on the water yesterday! Entertained two families from the San Fran area. One of the dads had fun playing the "how big is that yacht" game (see Steve Wynn's 300' 215mil Aquarius taking top honors for biggest beast) The boys also slipped in some ocean snorkeling and fishing in the cove with crystal clear water.

This 50' Jefferson is available for charter for another month before it goes to NY for the summer. Take advantage of this amazing weather while it lasts and book your trip soon!

Hauled out a pair of Sabre 45's today. They are both headed up to the Great Lakes to be with their new owners. This is the perfect boat for that region and, when you add the like these two have, they are beyond sweet. Pleasure working with and

Hard to think it was a blessing but damn we sure got lucky*with Irma. She was a ragged cat 1 in my opinion by the time she hit the SW Florida mainland. Due to her sheer size, those 60-80kt winds basically covered all of South Florida/central FL causing massive blackouts. Everglades city and Chokoloskee saw 10' above mean sea level flooding and I was fortunate enough to make two relief missions in there this week to help the locals. *That zone and the keys did not get lucky at all seeing the worst flooding in 57 years since Hurricane Donna. She was a shadow of her former self once she hit Florida. Couldnt even imagine her hitting us in peak form. Full chicken skin even trying to picture it.

After ensuring our customers vessel was intact yesterday (and did not even have a scratch) in Fort Myers, we celebrated briefly but our attention quickly shifted to the residents of Everglades City and Chokoloskee. The road just opened into town yesterday around 4pm and we were able to drive in around 6 to deliver gasoline and water to some of the residents. I grew up fishing this area with my father and have very fond memories of the beautiful environment and it's colorful natives, and felt strongly that I wanted to organize some relief for them.

We learned quite a bit with the hurricane Matthew relief effort last year to the Bahamas: here are the items that will really keep people going in the coming weeks and 2nd and 3rd stages of disaster recovery:
Tents, screened enclosures, cots, air mattresses, clothes, diapers, paper towels, toilet paper, extension cords, lanterns, fans, generators.

There will be tons of water and food donations (and we already saw 50pallets of water at the fire station distribution center) but these items above will help with the next stage of the disaster and you can be ahead of the curve and really have your efforts hit the mark. This is a triage situation for the first couple of days but if people don't have ways to cook their food, get good rest, and stay out of the bugs, they will develop illness and it will spread.

I'm planning on returning with more relief to this area as soon as tomorrow and I sincerely hope you will contact me today and help organize with your friends/family/neighbors to collect some of these items to help the people suffering from Hurricane Irma at ground zero Everglades City and Chokoloskee.

While most people are sketching about what MAJOR HURRICANE IRMA is going to do or not do, trust Maribella Charters extensive experience in both Surf Forecasting as well as hundreds of trips to the Bahamas via boat. Now is the time to pull the trigger and score days of swell off of IRMA before she get's too close to our area and brings stiff NE winds. Very fun zone swell will be on tap with good conditions for most of the upcoming work week. Booking deadline is Monday 10pm. Come surf with us! www.MaribellaCharters.com

Advisory for the little guys/gals for some "excited" language.

For those of you who know how razor sharp wahoo's teeth are, you can appreciate how badly this could have ended.

What a surprise!
