We had an absolute blast in Barre de Navidad. The festivities started with Brian of Delos finishing his circumnavigation. We didn't make it off the docks before beers were cracked and the party started. The boys had an absolute blast on the water slide, ma...
After what seemed like an eternity of motoring up the coast of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Mexico we finally treated to some sailing on the Pacific Ocean. The experience was certainly worth the wait! We are surrounded by marine life..whales, dolphins, turtl...
It's late in the season when we finally depart northern Costa Rica bound for Chiapas, Mexico. We hear that the coast of El Salvador & Nicaragua is known to spawn early season hurricanes as well as house intense squall activity. The squalls we encounter...
This episode begins with a recap of the challenges faced while sailing in Costa Rica. While we loved Costa Rica as a country maybe next we will come back without the boat 🙃. We faced many rolly anchorages, rapidly changing weather conditions, and expens...
Cruising Costa Rica epitomizes the old saying that cruising is full of high, highs and low, lows. Almost a bipolar existence. We are blown away by the beauty of the Osa Peninsula. Covering an area of just 700 square miles on the southern Pacific coast of C...
Checking into Costa Rica on a good day is a challenge..known for its arduous, bureaucratic check in process and an in person boat inspection for pork of all things, not to mention pricey with fees totaling over $500. However for us the bureaucracy was the ...
The last part of our passage to Isla Parida was super light and we had to motor some but we did manage to eek out some sailing. We experienced our first battery shutdown due to overheating which began the process of installing a blower for our batteries. R...
Join us as we embark on our very first sail in the Pacific Ocean. We depart from Playita Marina located just outside Panama Canal and set our waypoint for Punta Mala (Bad point), a point with a confluence of strong currents, notoriously rough in high wind...
We are breaking down on Calico Skies but being anchored in 'Hot Tub' (called so thanks to a weather phenomenon occurring in the summer when the water heats up) San Blas, things could be worse! We've been working our way through the beautiful island group h...
Though our current spot in San Blas is pretty sweet - We get regular deliveries from veggie boats, where we load up on fresh fruits & veg, booze and chicken at great prices - it's time to check out the infamous 'Hot Tub', an anchorage just 7 miles from...
We leave Bocas del Toro and sail offshore 220 miles to the San Blas islands. We’re headed east and the normally strong easterly winds have left a choppy sea state for us. And, thanks to the current we’re pointed even more upwind than expected. This mea...
We’re super excited to 1) have my little sister aboard with us and 2) officially leave the dock and move Calico Skies for the first time in MONTHS!! After picking Molly up in Bocas town we waste no time casting the lines and heading for an anchorage near...
What's it like for cruising sailors who have been onboard full-time for the past five years to temporarily "swallow the hook" ? In this episode we will show you! This is a departure from our normal sailing content documenting what we got up to during our f...
We had a good run, this was is our first time leaving Calico Skies in five years of cruising 😂. We decide to go home to visit family and friends in the States while it is rainy season in Panama. Getting the boat ready for long-term storage in the tropic...
It's amazing to be in Panama after a 1,000 mile sail from Mexico. This is our first time in Central America and we love the "off" the beaten path vibe as well as all the amazing wild-life in this jungle environment.
The first order of business is to move...
In this episode we prepare for a big storm coming with 30 knots expected wind predicted to blow for four straight days. We move anchor spots and then Bill gets to work on a boat project.
Before the blow hits we decide to resolve an issue we’ve been hav...
When it rains, it pours! This episode opens with us disconnecting our tow from S/V Delos and getting Calico Skies anchored under power from our dinghy. We being the process of flushing the transmission fluid several times after getting the dipstick caught ...
