Sailing Avocet: Escaping the Fire
The Woolsey and Hill Fire destroyed over 20,000 acres while the smoke carried over to neighboring cities. The air quality at our slip was at an all time low and to make it worse, the highways were closed and the Santa Ana winds were blowing with gusts up to 50. We were stuck and our plans to sail to the islands were ruined. However, we saw a weather window the following day and decided to sail up to Santa Barbara to get out of the thick of it. We had a great 2 day mini vacation before getting our A$$’s handed to us on our sail home!

This channel shares the details of our renovations, redesigns, and refits while we simultaneously juggle our respective media businesses offscreen to keep this whole operation afloat. We are excited to announce as of 2022 we are casting off for our grand adventure!
