YOLO Baby! Chasing our Dream b/c We're Not Getting Any Younger (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep. 135)

Our last days cruising in the amazing San Blas Islands will prove to be THE best yet! Two months behind us in this pristine cruising ground has meant beautiful anchorages with good holding and protection, white sand and turquoise water for days and palm trees swaying in the breeze. We would stay forever but as sailors we’ve got a long road of travel ahead of us and our time is simply out.

Our friend Plukky keeps catching fish on the regular and today is no exception – He comes by Calico Skies with his daily catch, this time several fish. We make plans for a bonfire this evening before spending some time on Delos with the dome and good wifi.

Next we head out for what could be our last dive and it turns out to be spectacular. Conditions are perfect and we spot a sting ray, angel fish, blue tangs, parrot fish, two puffer fish a trunk fish, a bunch of squid AND a nurse shark. It will be the best way to remember the underwater world of San Blas and we’re leaving our hearts amongst the coral and reef fish that live here.

After our dive we gather for our last bonfire. Tonight Plukky has gone all out and is making fried fish fingers served with a garlic aioli sauce. Kazza has made stick bread which we roast by the fire. Its a true feast, our fav meal in the San Blas and the best fried fish Grace has ever tasted. We share laughs and the time whizzes by as we enjoy sunset together.

The next day we make dough for pizza night which we hold later on Avalon, our friends Andi & Charli’s huge performance Catamaran. Brian, Kazza, nugget & Plukky also join and we all pitch in to make fun cocktails and lots of pies. Its another festive and fun evening together and our last with this particular group.

The following morning brings an unexpected surprise when Andy sails over on Avalon and Bill jumps on for a burn. Powered up the beast of a boat races at 12 knots through clear water and the new screecher is a sight to behold. It’s a good thing Andy has decided the pirate life is the one for him because he keeps us all entertained in the process 🙂 Bill unwinds from the thrilling ride with a noon cerveza because YOLO and it’s our last day in the San Blas so why not.
