Thanks so much!!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love the Bahamas water! Feel it has some of the best diving in the world!

We've owned Calico Skies for over 11 years now and at the time we purchased her had no idea we'd end up cruise her full time. Our current setup with the davits doesn't give us easy access for a wind vane so that's why we've gone hydraulic. After our breakdown heading north back to the US from the Bahamas last year we invested in a second (used) hydraulic autopilot to use as a backup in the case of another failure. A wind vane would great to have, but one of the reasons we've been able to cruise these past three years is because we don't have a boat loan, so we're very happy to be able to be out here now cruising with what we've got!

Thanks! Was a cool interview :)

Ha we weren’t sure if people wanted to see cooking, but its part of a day in the life while offshore :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

by the way, how'd you get into watching sailing vlogs?!

Calico Skies Sailing it's a funny drawn out story but I'll keep it short. Maybe 😜. I was looking up KZfaq videos on driving a school bus in my small town. I have my own business and our town in desperate for drivers. While watching bus driving videos a KZfaq a recommended channel came up of a channel called "Indiana jack". He's an across country truck driver. So I was following his across country trucking videos and MJ Sailing came up on my recommendations. I watched all their episodes in three days. I was fascinated. After watching all their videos I found your channel in MJ sailings recommend channels. The bad thing is now my wife thinks I'm buying a sail boat and headed down the Mississippi River. I live 5 miles from the river 👍. Stay safe. I love your videos. I've tried other sailing channels and you and MJ sailing are by far the best videos. Don't stop with the behind the scenes footage. It's fascinating. The next egg frying video I want to see an over easy egg while in rough water 😉.

​@@earlklinestub2167 cool story! funny how far one can get down the youtube rabbit hole :)

Calico Skies Sailing RIGHT ? The heck with main stream TV. Boat repair videos are my favorite. Not that I want to see a break down 😪😪

:)

Thanks for the following along! We just started researching the self steering in the last week or so 🤓, we store our rib on davits while inshore sailing so would like a unit that can be removed off the transom when not on major crossings. We were so thankful that the autopilot failed when we were only a 100 miles offshore and not in the middle of one of our Atlantic crossings!!

Great to have you onboard! We left from Puerto Rico and went straight to Eleuthera :)

ha didn't think of that! We just watched their vid with failure but didn't realize we were releasing at the same time :)

Hey there! The intro song or different one?
