From sanding the hull to FINALLY painting the topsides, we finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Hard work, blood, sweat, and MANY tears paid off. Enjoy the video!

Planning our escapé 🐠⛵️🌅 This old chart came with Avocet, and to our surprise the previous owner had already sailed Avocet to Hawaii! It was fun to read his dead reckoning and GPS positions he noted each day, as well as the occasional notes of “squal” and “oven fire” 😂

Hello from sunny Santa Barbara! After 2 days of no

Hello from sunny Santa Barbara! After 2 days of non stop motoring & upwind sailing south, we arrived & anchored in Santa Barbara for a night of much needed sleep. We went ashore for a wonderful early dinner at @brophys_sb & got the chance to visit with our friends aboard Blossom (@sarahdanu ) ⛵️⚓️In the anchorage we were joined by even MORE friends who had sailed up from Ventura to escort Sea Castle back to her new home ☀️ It has been a fun adventure with @qmtravels aboard and Sea Castle has been great, but we are ready to be back on Avocet and see our fur baby Cleo 🐱

It has been an interesting “sail” so far: Desp

It has been an interesting “sail” so far: Despite our southbound course we have been motor sailing upwind with the assistance of One Eyed Willy, the auto pilot. Chris & I traded shifts through the night with @qmtravels , enjoying the phosphorescence on the water & the company of whales & dolphins. 🐋⛵️☁️today we will be sailing to Morrow Bay to refuel, then continuing on around Point Conception to Santa Barbara where we will hopefully anchor and get some REAL rest 😴 That is all for this log entry ✅
