      ⛵ Set Sail This March—Perfect Winds, Warm Waters 🩴

      Spring is here, and there’s no better time to set sail in the Florida Keys! March brings perfect sailing conditions with warm temperatures, steady breezes, and calm waters—ideal for both beginners and experienced sailors. Whether you’re cruising through the mangroves, spotting dolphins, or enjoying a breathtaking sunset on the water, this is the season to experience Key Largo at its finest.

      We still have waterfront cottages available this March, so don’t miss your chance to book a stay & sail getaway at Key Lime Sailing Club. Enjoy a private sailboat with your cottage, plus all the comforts of a relaxing island retreat.

      Available Cottages for March

      If your preferred dates aren’t available, text Irene about cottage hopping— she can help find a combination of cottages to fit your stay! We also have availabilities in April as well.

      Call or text 305-451-3438 or reply to this email to reserve.

      When you book one of our cottages, you get more than just a great escape. You also get free access to water amenities. If you’re a qualified sailor, you can use a 22′ sailboat. You can also take a relaxing kayak ride, paddleboard on the bay side calm waters, or explore the clear waters with our snorkel gear. This is what the Florida Keys are all about, and it is why guests keep coming back to Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages. It’s a hidden gem that captures the true spirit of the Florida Keys, just like in Jimmy Buffet’s songs and Hemingway’s stories.

      Respect for Existing Copyright

      You must be the original author of everything in your video or have permission to use copyright-protected material. Be creative but think carefully about what you put into the video.

      If you are considering using existing music, video clips, photos, etc., it is very likely that someone else owns a copyright to that material. In this case, be sure to obtain the copyright owner’s written permission before using the material in your video.

      All music basically contains two copyrights: the sound recording and the underlying song composition (music publishing rights). In a video where you are using a cover song, you need to negotiate a synchronization license.

      Most of these will go through the Harry Fox Agency. However, many music publishers have entered into license agreements with YouTube permitting the use of the songs they control in exchange for a percentage of any advertising revenues.

      So, in some cases, YouTube has already obtained an agreement with the music publisher, so you would be OK covering the song. To determine whether or not a publisher is participating in an agreement with YouTube, you can contact the publisher directly. Publisher contact information may be found at ASCAP or BMI.

      You can also go to one of the royalty-free music sites and buy a track for a couple bucks that you can use all you want (e.g., incompetech.com, audimicro.com, etc.). With all that having been said, we do prefer original music, even if you are just humming…

      Photo Contest

      Pictures can include couples sailing, families sailing, Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages (KLSC) activities (non-sailing), sailing lessons, etc. There will be a voting period on our Facebook page where the owner of the photo with the most “Likes” will get a free 3-night stay at KLSC. There is no limit to the number of photos entered. To our guests who didn’t join the previous contests, this is your chance!

      What We’re Thankful For This Thanksgiving – Key Lime Sailing Club, Key Largo, FL

      Key Lime Sailing Club in Key Largo, 305-451-3438, www.keylimesailingclub.com

      Key Lime Sailing Club, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, always has very special offers for their visitors! Key Lime Sailing Club is a unique slice of KEYS ENJOYMENT…give it a try and let us hear about your experience.

      Celebrating Thanksgiving with Dolphins and Sunsets

      Thanksgiving at Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages was a day to remember! We’re thankful for our amazing guests, the outstanding job of the KLSC crew, with a special thanks to Jen, the joy of new friendships, and the beauty of dolphins swimming by as we shared a feast. The sunset capped off a perfect day. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving—join us next year to make more memories!

      Dolphins, sunsets, and a feast to remember— see our Thanksgiving highlights on Facebook!

      The Wampanoag and Thanksgiving

      Did you know that the Wampanoag, whose history dates back 12,000 years, were made up of 67 villages across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, and played a vital role in the Pilgrims’ survival? During the harsh winter of 1620-1621, they taught the settlers essential farming and fishing skills, laying the foundation for what we now celebrate as the first Thanksgiving. In the autumn of 1621, about 90 Wampanoag joined 52 settlers for a three-day feast featuring venison, wildfowl such as ducks and geese, cod, bass, and flint corn. While turkey may have been on the table, it wasn’t the star of the show as we think of it today.

      Despite their generosity, the Wampanoag faced devastating challenges in the years that followed, including disease, land conflicts, and war. Yet their legacy endures. Today, vibrant Wampanoag communities, such as the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), continue to preserve their culture, sharing traditions like the “Legends of Moshup” pageant. This Thanksgiving, let’s honor the enduring spirit and incredible contributions of the Wampanoag people.
