Waves 🌊 HIGHER than our Solar Panels 😳 Brutal Last 100 miles & EPIC Landfall Arrival ⛰ (CSS, Ep 230)
In this episode of Calico Skies Sailing’s vlog series, Captain Ian and Bill share their thrilling experience of tackling the brutal last 100 miles of an ocean crossing. The sailors must endure harsh conditions and overcome challenges as they prepare for a challenging landfall arrival.

Preparing for the Final Stretch

The team was in for an epic adventure during this last portion of their ocean voyage. With waves up to 8 ft high, Ian and Bill had to navigate through rough seas under a steady wind of 25-30 knots. The sailors decided to make a temporary repair to the damaged whisker pole, using a snatch block with a swivel attached to ensure smooth function.

Emotions Run High

As they approached land, the duo experienced a roller coaster of emotions. Tension and anticipation built up over the long passage finally culminated in a sense of immense relief. While Bill felt nervous about their ability to complete the journey successfully, Ian maintained his optimistic outlook.

Thrilling Landfall

Their harrowing journey culminated in a spectacular landfall. The sailors reveled in the beautiful blue waters, spotting small white birds flying over and even observing goats onshore. After turning off the engine, Ian fried up some bacon for a celebratory meal to refuel.

Meeting Fellow Sailors

Upon arriving at their destination, they encountered friends from another boat who had also set off with them on this ocean adventure. The sailors shared stories and exchanged news about the completion of each leg of their journeys.

Looking Forward to New Adventures

In true Calico Skies Sailing spirit, Ian and Bill celebrated the end of this crossing with enthusiasm. As they settled into their new anchorage surrounded by dramatic cliffs and picturesque scenery, they were already planning their next exciting escapades on the water.

Important Lesson

While traversing these last few miles, Ian and Bill learned an important lesson: to always stay alert during the final stretch of any passage. No matter how close you are to reaching your destination, it pays to remain focused and keep your wits about you.
