In this episode, we say Goodbye to Canada and our magical summer adventure. It’s time to make some miles and when you choose to travel as far and as often as we do, the consequence is that we must keep moving. It’s already past mid September and as sailors we are bound to the cycle of the seasons. Given this, we decide to sail past Provincetown RI and transit the Cape Cod Canal before taking a night of rest and moving on. Thankfully, though our passage from Nova Scotia to Cape Cod is challenging, we are rewarded towards the end of our journey with a beautiful sail into Newport on the most glorious fall afternoon.

I appreciate your explanations of what your doing and why. I’d go sailing in a New York minute! By the way you I’ve been to NY twice and loved it! I’d love to live your kind of life ⛵️

enjoy your channel, next time north come to PEI. we hung out with Brian and Karen in Antigua, Green Island last January and they were thinking of coming our way but then Covid hit

@CalicoSkiesSailing 3 года назад

Cool! The cruising community is a small world :) We would have loved to come up to Canada. We were in Nova Scotia two summers ago and absolutely loved it. Grace was born in New Brunswick. I think we are heading west this year, maybe the Pacific in 2022!

Pretty cool, my husband was stationed in RI in the late 60’s early 70’s, it is a state you can Drive The whole thing after work in you MGA and still get to bed on time, they use to go to URI, point Judith, Jamestown, Ft Getty, Newport, providence, back to Quonset Point NAS. 😎👍 We hope your Flights ✈️ today weren’t TO terribly bad.?? Taking the turboprop to Panama City, then airline to the states somewhere (depending on the airline you used) then on up to JFK, customs, immigration, taxi... ... ... boy, I’m tired already 😱😢😫

Love the videos.. I’m a new fan :) .. you guys were so close to my home town.. Ps. The high flyers are not pots, they were trawl. Trawlers fish for ground fish like cod and haddock.

@CalicoSkiesSailing 3 года назад

interesting, are the high flyers left to sit on the bottom with cages or something?

@Oppsalot 3 года назад

@@CalicoSkiesSailing not exactly. The high flyer is attached to a anchor with a line then there is a ground line attached to the anchor, it lay’s on the bottom of the ocean and stretched along the bottom for a half mile to a mile sometimes, the ground line has little lines with hooks attached to it spaced six feet apart. A anchor and high flyer are on both ends of the ground line. Hope this makes more since to you lol

@CalicoSkiesSailing 3 года назад

Cool! Grace is Canadian as well! We loved it up there, we hoped to come back this summer but the border is still close, maybe next year. Hope to share an anchorage :)

@cbrey 4 года назад

Hey guys, great video. Your passage thru the Canal may have been slow, but thank your stars you didn't emerge from the South end with wind against tide. I did that once and got horribly beaten up by huge standing waves.

@CalicoSkiesSailing 4 года назад

Yea I’ve heard horror stories!! Seas were pretty low on the other side for us so that was lucky!

@Mythos131 3 года назад

You should enter the Marblehead to Halifax race this year (contingent upon Covid-19), the record is only 28 hours and change--you can do it! Just kidding, glad you enjoyed your Canadian jaunt and awesome job you did battening down for Dorian earlier. You should drop into places like Lunenburg, Chester, Mahone Bay, Shelburne, Liverpool and most definitely Halifax on your next trip. Trip around the Halifax waterfront some and let us know so we can buy you dinners and beer at one of the waterfront patio establishments. There is an application in to rename the 3 places with Negro in the name as well as Squaw Island--about time! They are consulting with our indigenous people now but I have no idea why it is taking so long as the process started in 2016.

@CalicoSkiesSailing 3 года назад

Ha 28 hours! We can do it....might have to strip down Calico Skies a little bit 😂. We really wanted to go back to Nova Scotia this past summer but understandably the borders were closed. We made it to the very eastern tip of Maine before we turned around. If we make it back up that way we'd love to synch up :)

@Mythos131 3 года назад

@@CalicoSkiesSailing Sounds good. It's a good thing you knew enough to stay away from NS this year. The lockdowns and quarantines were strictly enforced. You would have needed to quarantine for 2 weeks before you could visit any establishment!

@36whistler 4 года назад

Enjoyed your episode.. I've stopped over at cape negro quite a few times on the way to and from Chester NS from Saint John NB. Glad to see you two would like to come back our way sometime. Consider the St. John river in NB. Miles and miles of warm fresh water cruising. Grand Manan, Passamaquoddy Bay and the Fundy Isles are very worthwhile. take care!

@CalicoSkiesSailing 4 года назад

sounds awesome!! Cape Negro was such a cool spot.

@sanchopabsta 2 года назад

Thanks for the great videos! I would love to get some suggestions on where to gather info for planning a Nova Scotia to Southern US route.

@CalicoSkiesSailing 2 года назад

Hi there! Saw your message on PayPal, thanks for sending that! It wouldn’t let me reply on PayPal messages. We use navionics for passage planning. It had lot of information loaded into active captain on anchorages and marinas etc. The prevailing wind in that region is SW due to the Bermuda high. We would usually start heading south in the fall and take the back of a cold fronts to get North winds and better sailing. I would prob coastal hop using the cape cod canal, the c&d canal to get into the Chesapeake. We often did the icw through NC but it feasibility depend on mast height (no more than 55ft) and draft of the vessel. After NC we always jumped offshore to St Augustine but many people will remain in the icw the whole way down. Hope that helps! Shoot us an email if ya have anymore questions :)

@PhilLemoine 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing! It's interesting that you're using the boom brake for actual gybing ... I am only using mine to prevent accidental gybes, and go thru sheeting in and out to gybe... Is that a common practice or another matter of personal preference?

@CalicoSkiesSailing 4 года назад

Hmm not sure! We have a walder boom brake and I saw videos online where they use it for the actual gybe, we’ve been using it this way for years and seems to work :)

@PhilLemoine 4 года назад

@@CalicoSkiesSailing I have a Dutchman. Everytime we're gybing I am willing to do it the way you do ... I guess I will eventually try it :)... Fair winds!

@CalicoSkiesSailing 4 года назад

Cool - I over tighten the control line and then ease on a winch so it doesn’t slam over. I’d rather it get “stuck” on the wrong side until I gently ease the line rather than gybe uncontrolled :)

@joshtvg 3 года назад

Is there a reason why there are 6 to 9 commercials during your videos?

@CalicoSkiesSailing 3 года назад

hmm we will have to check that out, youtube introduced midroll ads and we haven't gone back to check our old videos for ad placement, thanks for alerting us to that!
