I hope the news continues to be good for Molly. Cheers and Happy New Year from Scottsdale, AZ and I know that hospital very well. It is one of the best in the Valley and I always recommend it. Great staff, fantastic vibe.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Wow Scottsdale, so close!

[@jonathanscott550]

Nice one Bill and Grace. Glad to hear all went good for your sister Grace. Grace I am quite sure Bill behaved himself while you were away. That was a nice fish you caught not to small not to big just right . (That's what she said!) Looking forward to your next video. This actually was relaxed

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

[@jimmymurray2996]

So glad for the wonderful new!!!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Yay! Thank you!

[@rainfinger]

Congratulations on your collective treatments. We are presently anchored in Mindelo, Cabo Verde, headed for Brazil. This is a very protected anchorage with great holding, paying a small consideration to use the dinghy dock.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Wow cool! Brasil would be awesome to check out!

[@davidg7477]

Glad to hear your sister is doing well. Loved the ripping through the mangroves! Cheers!

[@rodneyallen5003]

First of all, I’ve read a few of the comments before adding this one. This sailing community and those of us planning to join in is fantastic ! The support shown, myself included, is unwavering !! Love that about the sailors. I’m so glad to see that you have recovered from your surgery and that Molly is doing good too. I lost my Godmother 30ish years ago to breast cancer and thankfully this cancer is now survivable. The mangrove run was a blast 🤙🏼 no matter what age guys are, we’re still boys when it comes to having fun. See you next episode and until then, fair winds and following seas Calico Skies ⛵️

Sorry to hear about your god mother, luckily medicine is evolving!

[@stevelambert7496]

Sorry about your wife

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

so sorry to hear that 😢, we will keep her in our thoughts

[@sockeyevoyages8840]

Grace and Bill, thanks for continuing to bring us along on your journey. Thank Molly for allowing you to share her health challenge. That you, and now she, have been open about these difficult steps opens our hearts to you more and hopefully encourages others to get checked out and maybe catch cancer early. Bill, glad you did not puncture the new Highfield. I share your love of exploring mangrove creeks. Health and peace

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thank you Sockeye! Yes the mangrove adventure is fun! There another good one in Bimini in the Bahamas

[@daneulekowski929]

Best wishes for the family. Have fun guys

[@kindsailing]

Loved the episode. The haircut was hilarious! (Not the outcome, the process.) What a relief for Molly that her pathology is clear. Enjoy this part of Mexico, you deserve some R&R. Namaste.🙏

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

LOL hair cut while getting waked by pangas, typical LOL

[@brucerhodes8197]

Really great news about Molly's results, it's awesome that you and your family have been so willing to tell your stories, it has to be helping other women going through the same processes... It's going to be a lot easier on you starting this next very long adventure, knowing she's doing so well. Has to be the hardest part of sailing, just being so far from family and friends, that part I do not envy you for...

[@kf29349]

Thankfully, you didn’t encounter any other mangrove traffic. They looked like very narrow passageways.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

We did but you can hear other boats coming 👍

[@davidnichols147]

Grace, we are so thankful that Molly's operation was a complete success, the burden of this complicated surgery must have lift a heavy mental load off her mind and the Family as a group. So nice to see you celebrating with a marvelous lunch. Pray your travel wasn't to stressful as we hear Mexico is in turmoil over the boarder issue. Happiness is in the beholder and from this video, seems like Bill enjoyed his haircut.

[@JakobEngl]

great video

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

Grace, it’s great to hear that it’s looking like your sister is ‘in the clear.’ She’s really fortunate to have you there for support. On the ‘other hand,’ Bill, come on dude, you have a new Highfield, and you couldn’t find anything better to do than speed through miles of mangrove that are so thick and low, it’s like driving blindfolded through a foggy night in London ? Maybe a little exaggerated, but at that speed, there was no way to know what kinds of sharp branches were sticking out from the water, or anywhere. Just saying, not the best thing to do with a brand new looking dinghy, or it’s crew, and equipment.

[@tvonzweck]

All the best to your sister. That is great group you are buddy boating with, friendly, helpful and funny to boot.

The quality of your videos keeps getting better and better. Good work! I think it would be a worthwhile investment to upgrade your intro, if your goal is to get more viewers. A good quality into will pay dividends.

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

Exactly my reactions to seeing them speed through a barely passable obstacle course of countless branches that could have been sharp enough to seriously damage something or someone. Like there wasn’t anything else interesting to do around that coastal area. I’m sure if Bill would have tried that with Grace in the dinghy, SHE would have ‘taken his head off.’ 😅
