It had to happen eventually .... every Sailors WORST nightmare 🥺 (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 212)
Awesome to see the dream become reality, all the delays that were disappointment at the time and the way life fills in with its amazing splendor. Thanks for sharing everything including this episode of the pure joy of open water sailing and dealing with conditions as they are, including running into the outflow from the atoll.
Amazing...enjoy
And to think I now have to brave traffic and cycle to the Triboro Br over the Harlem river to Randall’s Island. Getting anywhere nice is never simple or easy.
Why'd you have to clear in? Weren't you already in French Polynesia before?
Great video
That bluesy tune around 11:31. That was a lil sporty sailing. But that scenery when you were ingressing through the pass was stunning.
where i contact you ?
Loved sailing with you today, Bill and Grace. Such divine waves!! Enjoy your time there. 🏝💙⛵
Are you guys heading towards Australia to meet up with the Delos crew by any chance ?? , Brian could utilise bills skills and kazza and grace could shop till they drop ..😊
Nice job
Would have been great if you guys could have buddied with the Delos crew.....maybe before long..
What a crazy sail! Hope you made it in okay!
That’s a really good episode. Had a really nice feeling. Thank you.
Heck of a sail ! Nice job.....
😄🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍
Marquesas has some beautiful views and fauna. You two rock. Looking forward to the next anchorage .
Great team you two are! Long time subscriber here. Your content improves with every video and I appreciate the hours of hard work that goes in to each and every one. I’ve just returned from a 5 day sailing adventure in the gulf islands of BC Canada which pales in comparison. Fair winds!
Say no to the Ho and no Balls!
Awesome episode!!!
YOU MADE IT REAL HERE THE MOTION OF THE OCEAN MOST PEOPLE SAY IT NEVER REALLY SHOWS +++ AROUND 4MIN I WAS FEELING IT SEEING YOU UNSETTLED AND MOVING LIKE A WASHER MACHINE LOL
Thanks I enjoyed the sail. Be safe always.🦺
Yep.... trade winds! Have done that passage a couple of times and after a boisterous sail, the Tuamotus are even more appreciated... ! I'm sure you've already discovered the joys of Polynesian pronouncing every vowel. You'll get used to it. Fyi, its Ra-roy-ah and Too-a-mote-toos. IaOrana is a fun one (ee-or-rana, our boat was named that, handy in FP) but worth knowing as it's the hello of Tahiti, sort of like aloha in HI but more authentically used. So enjoying to see everyone passing that way, reminiscing, good times!
Thank you! Wonderful again. Are you using a different camera? The colours seem more saturated.
😀😀👍👍❤❤
Thank you for posting this video.
Some really great footage. ❤
A sailing dilemma, wanting to go as fast as you can. But having to slow down to make an arrival timely. You made it work. Good thing the wind wasn't countering the tide more. Nice job.
Beautiful…thank you!
Wow. Quite the rough seas. So relaxing listening to the music and the waves and watching Calico Skies sail through the water. Thanks for sharing. 😃🧡
Wow, thank you for taking us on this passage…this is a real as it gets! You guys make this look easy and I know it’s not! Beautifully filmed and edited!
Great video guys!! keep em coming :):)
Bon voy age ... in my Bugs Bunny voice ...😂
12:30 LOOKS LIKE A LOOSE PHILIPS HEAD SCREW IS IN YOUR BILGE AREA NEXT TO THE CORD COMING OUT OF THAT PUMP...I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM...BUT IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
This is a REAL episode. You really communicate the ardours of ocean sailing! Well done! Outstanding videography - really atmospheric shots! The grittiest channel on UA-cam. Even the music adds to the experience..
I said a long time back you guys were my favourite sailing channel. nowt's changed! from a Yorkshire man.😉
You guys are gonna love love love the Tuamotus!! Not nearly as rolly as the Marquesas, crystal clear water, beautiful beeches, great snorkling and diving, what's not to like! Looking forward to the upcoming videos and your take on the Tuamotus.
Nice one Bill & Grace have a great time in the Tuamotus which I'm sure you will. It's a beautiful place
Bill, I give you another Meteo application to use and compare with the ones you have, it includes an excellent tide prediction Ventusky App
Grace, your editing skills & eloquence are truly amazing & I believe Bill has become a professional sailor and can fix almost anything that breaks. Cudo’s to you both.
Wow, thank you! 😀
Hi Guys....⛵ Calico Skyes Everything has been GREAT, but you should be very careful when walking on the lee deck, a very pronounced angle of the boat can suddenly make you lose your balance, AT ALL TIMES, whether the weather is good, bad or fair, WALK TO THE WINDWARD and wear shoes, a bad footing can bring ahit with some difficulty. P.S. That Fatu Hiva anchorage looked like a rice and mango with so many boats crowded there. Bill realized this and left there. Great, good fortune. 4 hours before leaving you should put patches behind both ears. 🎉🎉🎉🎶🎵
Your boat handles the weather perfectly me I would be going nuts having to slow down.
Nice
Awesome video. Looking forward to more adventures.
Grace could you not get the extended visa or did you not try? Delos didn’t need it because Karin is an EU citizen and can stay technically indefinitely… stupid Brexit messed that one for me :( The contrast between the two island groups is so amazing. One and two on my bucket list. Always brightens my day when you and Bill upload. My favorite You Tubers :)
👍🧿
Even though a little seasick you still are radiant Grace 👍 Bill has become a MASTER sailor!!! Love y'all.
thats pretty funny " Breaking Wind "🤣
where i contact you?
I enjoyed the sail with you minus the seasick! Great video!
Hey guys!!! Love these ocean voyage shots! I've never been seasick, I don't know why. I changed the stuffing in a 36' Catalina so I know what your dealing with there. Wow that water is beautiful ! Grace I love your camera. Good stuff guys! Be well !!!❤
My only seasickness was on an old fashioned smaller cruise ship. Never been sick on smaller boats.
