Back to Life on Anchor, Exploring Starfish Beach, Bocas Del Toro (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 110)
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 Calico Skies from the tempor...

Well, we made it to Mexico! And that mean's we're officially back to Cruising Life and done with Passage Life, at least until the next time. There are a few priorities upon arriving and the specifics change depending on where we are, but one thing that never changes is the need to fix all ...
What Fighting 25 Knots in the Gulf Stream on a 36 ft Boat Feels Like (Calico Skies Sailing Ep.101)
The last part of our passage to Mexico was a perfect demonstration of what fighting 25 knots in the Gulf Stream on a 36 foot sail boat feels like . . . Choppy seas form when wind goes against current but sometimes it's just a battle out there and there's no way to avoid it. We knew the e...
One Step Closer to our Cruising Dreams (Calico Skies Sailing Ep 98)
What do cruiser's do with all of their time? Quite a lot as this episode demonstrates 😉. It starts out with pizza night aboard Delos. We make the dough (from scratch of course) early in the morning and as the day goes on we work on the toppings. It's a labor of love making homemade pizza b...

Will we be able to run our 16,000 Btu AC off our lithium battery bank?! (Calico Skies Sailing Ep 93)
In this episode we continue the installation of our marine air conditioner. We get right down to it, drilling a sea water exit hole in the hull. Typically this hole would be placed right at the waterline but we opt to install it near deck level since we are completing this install on the hook. Our h...
How to Install Marine Air Conditioning in 4 simple steps 😜
In this episode we continue readying Calico Skies to leave the U.S. for the foreseeable future. Our cruising goal this season is to arrive in Central America prior to hurricane season.

How many fuel filter changes does it take to go 22 miles?? STALLED under a bridge 😬 (Ep 88)
In this episode we continue our seemingly never ending trek south. We decide to jump offshore from Ft. Pierce Inlet to West Palm to save time and avoid bridges on the ICW. We have a nice downwind sail utilizing our double headsails consisting of code zero and poled out genoa enabling us to make spee...
Welcome to the Sunshine State! (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 87)
We dig into our engine issues after arriving into St. Augustine in an eventual manner, under tow from Boat U.S. After poking around our fuel system, it seems we made a user error rather than having a fuel issue (at least this time...). After getting the engine back up and running we decide to change...
Why to take the ICW when traveling down the US East Coast (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 85)
There are two options when heading south down the US east coast, you can take the offshore route which is more exposed to weather but more direct or take the "inside" route down the ICW. The ICW is a 3,000 mile long inland waterway down the Atlantic and Gulf Coast. The waterway is a combi...
Off Season Cruising down the Chesapeake (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 83)
Annapolis seems to have some sort of magnetic pull on us in the late fall 😂, this years challenge is to escape before the first snow falls..can we do it?! This town is a great stopover for us as we make our way up and down the east coast. We have lots of friends that live here and you can basicall...

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 ...
