Land Ho! Our Beautiful Sail to Maine (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 71)

[@SaltborneHeathen]

Between this and re-watching Delos cruising up around Maine, it's making me really homesick for New England

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Amazing place to cruise!

[@christopherlgroves]

Amazing light at cocktail hour.. gotta love New England cruising. The sunsets are fab

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

we always say that we see some of the best sunsets when up in New England!

Thank you for preserving the sounds of your passage and not overwhelming them with some techno noise. Your video brought back wonderful memories of my Youth when, while in the USCG, I sailed on "CURLEW" and "EAGLE."

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Our pleasure!! Would be awesome to sail on those tall ships!

[@johnjcoxiii9401]

Indeed! An adventure that has lasted for over 65 years.

[@janvanvliet5195]

What a great episode to watch on a rainy winter day in the Northwest. It sure has me looking forward to summer boating.

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

It was so hard when our boat was out of the water for the winter!! Hope the winter passes quickly for you :)

[@lifeisanadventure266]

I don't understand why your sub's don't go up , your channel is as good as many and better them most

[@sailingavocet]

right? and their personalities are amazing

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thanks for the sweetest feedback 😍; we've been growing consistently but it's so hard to grow fast these days with so many other sailing channels out there 🤓

[@steveking6204]

[@klasandersson7522]

Oh bugger, I´m feeling old! This down-tempo episode with soft music really suited me, and very nice editing too if I may say so! 😊 Fair winds and following seas! // A wintery Sweden

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Thanks :) We had a very chill summer up in North in Maine!

[@allenshepherd5225]

Following you with baited breath. Always looking forward to your next super episode. Keep up the great videos!

[@MichaelJohnson-sy5mm]

Great Video!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@cnewman3001]

Hi Calico Skies, nice video. I like to check-in and see what's going on with you two. I've got to say though, the mid-roll ads really kill the flow. One break for mid-roll ads is somewhat tolerable but multiple interruptions for ads just plain sucks. Anyway, stay safe and have fun!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Hey there just going through some older comments today . . . Noted about the mid roll ads. We're always trying to do as much of what KZbin wants us to do as possible so that the vides pop up and get advertised but understand that we are taking a risk in that regard. It's hard because we are in the growth phase at the moment and KZbin is 'our boss' and KZbin is not transparent so it's hard to know what can hurt a video or not. I usually remove at least 1 of the ads they suggest including but am reluctant to remove more. Appreciate your feedback though and happy that you are following along!

[@chrisyost6972]

Love your channel! Glad you’ve got your rigging issues taken care of. Did you post what the manufacturer of the stats had to say about the failure?

[@chrisyost6972]

Stays not stats! Darn spellcheck!

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

We did a recap in the lithium battery video :) Basically the two forward lowers weren't placed in the rod heading machine resulting in a weakness. The manufacturer went over the rest of the rod heads and gave us a clean bill of health as well as fixed the heads on the forward lowers 😬

[@roncanizares9966]

Very nice video. What brand and model wind generator do you have and how do you feel about it?

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

We have a silent wind, its been good for us. Solar is by far out biggest charge source but once really windy passages the wind gen is awesome. It starts charging meaningfully at about 15 knots of wind

[@PEI_Guy]

Did you get to see a whale?

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Not this trip 🙃; we saw one on the next passage tho!

[@1over137]

Why do people say "Land Ho"? It's "Land Ahoy"

[@CalicoSkiesSailing]

Ha had no idea that people said both, always assumed it was Land Ho! A quick google seach shows its a common question 😂
