I don't think that's necessarily in the spirit of it all Tikilale....
It will be a great trip and we'll get to see the older homes of Lucille Ball and other celebs!!
Thanks for those that have already purchased your tickets!! We are well on our way to making this such an amazing trip!!

Thanks Christie, just got our tickets and we're in. Hopefully the weather will be great and everything will go as planned.  And this time we'll have a  together and just don't do a cannonball into the hot tub!  See you then and thanks again.

3 Hour Tour? This reminds me of the theme to Gilligan's Island. Ha ha
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
*********for a three hour tour.
*************a three hour tour.**************
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost,
the Minnow would be lost.
The ship took ground on the shore of this
uncharted desert isle,
with Giligan, the skipper too,
The millionaire, and his wife,
The movie star,
The professor, and MaryAnn,
here on Gilligan's Isle.
So this is the tale of our castaways,
they're here for a long, long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
it's an uphill climb.
The first mate, and his skipper too,
will do their very best
to make the others comfortable
in this tropic island nest.
No Phones, No lights, No Motorcars,
Not a single luxury.
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week, my friend,
you're sure to get a smile,
from seven stranded castaways,
Here on Gilligan's Isle!

Everyone remember to wear sunscreen. Ladies, you may want to bring a parasol or other fashionable shade device..... you will not only be sailing through the Venice of America, you will be sailing under the South Florida Sun. The view (and company) will be amazing! The possible sunburn will make the rest of your weekend miserable.

Yes you will be sailing through the Venice of America....AND...the South Florida sun. Listen to Chip and Andy, and me as a former resident. The sun is very warm and frightening if you don't take precautions. As we do every year on our website, we encourage you to wear your sunscreen, sunglasses, beach hats and yes, bring those beautiful parasols while sailing the 3 hour cruise.
Also, there is a lower deck with lots of seating for those that can't handle the sun for too long. That's most likely where I will be!
