I was disappointed in the April article in Sea ("America's western boating magazine") on cruising organizations. It didn't list any organizations.

Yeah, most of the yacht clubs and cruising groups in that area aren't into slow cruising except for their sailboat groups. I certainly didn't see many slow boats at the Marco Island Yacht Club.
You may want to see if you can hook up with these guys. They do some slow cruising.

You may just have to meet a group at the destination. It's too good of cruising down there to miss it.
We've had some Sabre group cruises there with a mixture of fast and slow boats. We would just meet at the destination. No problem.

I've been able to cajole a few local boaters (fellow TFers) to go at my slow cruising speed (6+ knots), most of the time.

...and many times you graciously offer to leave early so we arrive at the destination together. Thanks, Scout!
PS...when we travel the shallow waters, we call Mark "Probe".

We're collecting quite a few Krogen Manatees and 42's over here on the Gulf Coast. It's been mentioned that such slow cruising get togethers might be an effort worth undertaking. My boat isn't ready yet, but soon.

We would love to have you join our Marco Island Cruise Club which has two other active 34 Mainships. Unfortunately, our bylaws requires at least three months per year residency in the Marco, Naples local area, where are you in southwest Fl. ?
Please see the club web site....www. marcocruiseclub.com.... front page shows my Mainship and an active cruising 41 Silverton.
