Join us aboard Lipstick Tuna, a 42' Silverton Aft Cabin Motor Yacht, as we cruise down the Florida Gulf Coast ICW from Bradenton to Naples, with a scenic overnight stop at Cabbage Key. This journey had a dramatic start — battling high winds, 2-3 ft swells, and a Small Craft Advisory right as we left the dock, plus a last-minute engine repair that kept us on our toes.

From navigating rough seas to executing a challenging high wind docking at Cabbage Key, this trip was full of learning moments, including solo handling experience for Tim as the crew pushed onward to Naples.
