History
Smoke and Roses is named after the owners occupations. Captain Dan Long retired after 28 years as Captain on the Sioux Falls, South Dakota Fire Department, he was a firefighter and EMT. His wife Agnes, the Chef and First Mate is former owner of Moonlight Rose LLC, a floral business she started, and former owner of Diamond Dynasty Limousine Service. Boating and water activities were a natural for Dan as he grew up on a lake in Wisconsin. Shortly after they met, Dan and Agnes took up diving together, then sailing and have spent every free moment since, pursuing their goal of life on the water. After several successful years of doing cruises in the beautiful British Virgin Islands, they have sailed Smoke and Roses to their home in Southwest Florida.
