We have very much enjoyed our time on Summer Breeze. She has challenged us in many ways, we have learned a tremendous amount, have had some amazing experiences and made some wonderful lifelong friends. We traveled to the Chesapeake Bay, to the Abacos, to the Florida Keys and the FL loop twice and crossing Florida via the Okeechobee Lake 3 times.
Meet Robert (Bobby) Kleiman and Michelle Fair, new owners of Summer Breeze!
Their plans are to be full time liveaboards in Stuart, FL. They will be doing their desired updates while at the marina as they prepare for their own adventures in cruising on "Lady Darcy" named after their beloved King Charles Cavalier 15 1/2 yr old pup who is making the trip home with them along with Finnley.
Darcy discovered that sleeping on the floor in our pantry was her spot!
Finnley found his "happy place" on board.
Video of Bobby and Michelle leaving our dock on Tuesday, July 27.
They spent several days here with us learning more about their new boat and moving on.
The dogs were definitely a part of the training sessions.

The survey/inspection was on July 13-15th.
On July 13, we take her over to the boat yard for the haul out and survey. Inspector #1 does the engine inspection and a sea trial.
The next day we are back there at 8 AM to meet the other surveyor and prepare for the haul out.
Bella is ready.
She always looks so BIG out of the water!
Time for another sea trial with surveyor/inspector #2
Bobby takes a turn at the helm with Bruce
On July 15, we take her back to her home dock and we realize that this is our last time to cruise...
thus our final family photo on Summer Breeze!
