What a difference a year makes! So happy for you Bill and Grace and you look fantastic!! Happy sailing!! ⛵💟

Congrats for crossing the Equator and making it to French Polynesia! So happy for you. Life is worth living to the fullest.

What an epic life journey within one year! What a difference a year makes! I couldn't be happier for you and Bill! Well done you two!! So much grit, determination and perseverance!!

Congratulations to you both 🎉 what a fabulous lifetime achievement ! You worked so hard and did a great job in prepping Calico and yourselves. Well worth the time and money knowing the boat is safe and properly provisioned. Keep smiling, you should be proud. 💫 🌴 🇺🇸 ⛵️ 🏝️ 🌟

Nope. Bill, Monday was the 29th. Today, Tuesday is the 30th. Now if you've crossed the International date line it may be the 30th, but it's also Tuesday. : - ) I am also VERY happy that you're now "down south". I'd like to do it myself one day. But I'm not getting any younger and my current 20 foot sailboat is too small for Blue Water sailing.

Cheers and congratulations, guys!! What an amazing journey you've been on in the last year. I'm sacrificing a salty Margarita to Poseidon to continue to keep you safe and zoomin'. 🍾🥂❤

Welcome to Shelback-dom. I crossed the equator and IDL at the same time on a nuclear submarine.

Blessings upon you, though Delos' crossings are more fun.😂

No beer, but I'll have some homemade Baileys Irish Cream for you guys

“Most of our ocean crossings have been benign…”. Knock, knock. And may all your excursions be uneventful and benign. Best of luck to you fine people

Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere 😀

I crossed over in '72 on a ship of the line.............. No alcohol allowed ............. sshhhheeesssshhhhhh ................. enjoy

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hears too bush💪

yahoo😀

Word

Y'all not shellbacks till you swim around the boat naked. Not asking for proof but ya have to do something crazy like that to commemorate the mile stone. Stay safe.

Congratulations 🥂Bubbly , shaving and a shower🌊☀️!!!

You'll be sorry! For the same reason a Firefighter or Ambulance Paramedic never says "It's been a quiet night", you should not have said "uneventful". That usually curses the shift😂😂😂.

😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hows the race going with Breaking Waves?

🎉🎉🎉🔱🔱🔱

Shaved your beard? You should have done it completely, as a matter of fact you should have shaved all the hair on your head except for your eyebrows. It would all grow back eventually. Good sailing for the rest of the trip.

Tattoos now?? 😂😊😅😮
