Saying Goodbye 🥲- 1,000 Mile Offshore Passage Apart (Calico Skies Sailing Ep.105)

The time has come for us to say goodbye… After sailing nearly 30,000 miles together, Grace has decided to not sail this passage and will meet Calico Skies in Panama giving new crew the opportunity to log some offshore miles. After saying goodbye the boys don’t waste any time digging into our large to do list before heading out to sea.

First up is showing the guys the “ropes” so to speak…walking them through the many sail control lines we have on Calico Skies. Due to our numerous sail configurations there is an added level of complexity. Next up is getting off the dock so we can give the bottom a good scrubbing. Our first leg will have us motoring 300 miles to windward and we don’t want any excess drag. On our last evening at anchor we enjoy a nice dinner & drinks onboard.

The first order of business upon waking up on the morning of departure is lifting and securing the dinghy on the foredeck..and just like that anchor is up and we are off!
