Remember when we had to rebuild our engine on the hook in Mexico? Well, that unplanned project concluded our FIVE YEAR refit 🛠️ Because of that, we have been nominated for refit of the year and would LOVE if you could take a moment to vote! If everyone in this group votes, we have a shot at winning this thing and dedicating it to the community of La Cruz that supported us during such a wild time 🏆 Click the link in our bio to vote for Sailing Avocet, we are currently in third place!

One year ago today we set our hook in Clipper Cove, San Francisco Bay. We had left Santa Barbara on September 19th at 6:00 am to catch the predicted south wind that would carry us up the coast. 2 days and 7 hours later we laid anchor next to Treasure Island ⚓️ We made so many memories at that sweet spot - I highly recommend you check out the full video on YouTube that gives the history of this island!
