Clifford and Francine Burgess are new retirees from Nova Scotia, who were escaping winter on their small sailing catamaran in South Western Florida.

Their photo was taken on March 1st during a return trip from Key West to Sanibel Island. “The sight of dolphins off the bow leading the way never gets old.”

An Aqua Map navigation software subscription was awarded to the winner! Watch for their photo in an upcoming issue of our Port Hole Magazine, published by Canadian Boating.
