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 four month stay in the U.S whi...
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 tropics requires quite a bit of preparation. Check ou...

We're building our boat with vinyl ester resin - and they're OUT nationwide!!
This week's video is a smattering of a few different things, trying to catch up from when we were preparing the Pacemaker to launch (late June) to starting work on the floors of the catamaran (early July).

Ever wondered what it would be like to live in the Keys? How about living in a place like the Dry Tortugas, a paradise only accessible by boat and sea plane, with white sand beaches, pristine clear water teaming with sea-life, and neighboring islands with endless options for exploring? The fact tha...
We say goodbye to Louis the harbour master in the bay of Samana, he fills us up with diesel in a rather unconventional way.
We check out the beautiful Marina Puerto Bahia for a last day in Samana relaxing before our 3-4 day passage to the Bahamas.
As soon as we leave the bay of Samana with the win...
Its a sad time as we have to say goodbye to @RyanSophieSailing but it cant be helped as we have been in Bonaire for 3 months and our visa is about to expire!
We set off at 5am with another boat as we need to catch high tide when we arrive in Dominican Republic. To our surprise Ryan and Sophie are ...

We seem to make a habit of overstaying our season in each spot we travel to 🙃. Whether it is the sweltering heat of the Bahamas this past June (almost July) or the freezing cold air in Maine at the end of October, we just seem to stay too late LOL. Well the time has come for us to start our long tre...
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 in the gears.
With the transmission issue r...

We are at the point in our season where we are starting to make our way back south and west after getting within ten miles of the Canadian border. Our first stop is Mud Hole. This sweet anchorage is only accessible at high tide. This entrance to this harbor is very tight, Brian (S/V Delos) jumps in ...

With our summer boat projects complete it's time to get down to the business of exploring Maine. Our first stop is a sweet anchorage bordering Acadia National Park where we reunite with several members of TTYC, our quarantine crew from the Bahamas (Ada, Avalon, and Delos)
It's amazing to ...
In this episode we complete a major upgrade to to our solar generating capacity. We add an additional 600w of solar to our existing 510w. 1110w of solar on a 36 foot monohull sailboat must be some sort of record lol! Earlier this summer we upgraded to 600 amps of lithium LiFePO4 batteries courtesy o...

If you had to spend 14 days "self isolating" upon entering the state of Maine, can you picture a better way to spend it than on a private island?!?! We got really lucky this past August as our friends on S/V Delos were offered the use of an island off the coast of Port Clyde, Maine. This i...
This week we're reminded how much we love Ruby Rose and what a brilliant sailing boat she really is, as we encounter PERFECT (no, really- absolutely perfect) sailing conditions off the French coast. Sails go up and off we fly!

When the rod head on our forward lower shroud broke on the fifth day of Bill's solo passage headed North from the Bahamas he had to divert course near Beaufort, North Carolina and head inshore. Grace is crewing on our friends boat s/v Delos and we’re ahead of Calico Skies, having begun our pass...
It’s day four of our offshore passage north from the Bahamas headed up along the east coast of the US. Bill is about 30 miles offshore from North Carolina when the rod head on the forward lower shroud exploded. He’s sailing Calico Skies solo and Grace is crewing on our friends boat, s/v Delos. We’ve...
Life at The Dock! It has changed drastically in that last year we never thought we would end up living on a sailboat running a small business, let alone even have Ixion. Our day to day is still foreign to us, and we are still getting used to a life of sailing and making sailing videos.
In the midst...
This episode opens on night two of our passage from the northern part of the Bahamas to the east coast of the US. For this passage, Grace has joined our friends on Delos as crew and Bill has set sail solo. Together, we’re buddy boating on a northward trajectory, aiming for the Chesapeake Bay, still ...
Well this is a first for us, Calico Skies is setting out to sea for an eight hundred mile passage without Grace onboard. What?! Ya! In this episode, Grace joins the S/V Delos crew to help sail her back to the US and play with little Miss Nugget. Always up for an adventure, Bill has volunteered to s...
We’re headed North and it’s day two of our passage from Flamingo Cay at the top of the Ragged Island chain to the Berry Islands, located at the northern end of the Bahamas. It's mid June and this is a hot, light air trip. Along the way we encounter a U.S. Navy warship and are perplexed by a str...
