Getting our Blue Water Boat Ready to Cross Oceans Again (Calico Skies Sailing, Ep 91)

In this episode we are getting ourselves and Calico Skies ready to travel abroad once again. Our plan for the upcoming season is starting to come together and we are heading south and west, possibly to the Pacific Ocean. We are currently in South Florida, a fantastic spot to get any needed parts for our projects. While in Lake Boca we pick up a massive amount of packages from Brian's brother Brett who has been collecting them for us at his house. We raft up with Delos on our last night here in Lake Boca before we head south to Hollywood and get into boat project mode.If ya can't beat them join em! We decide to remove a small water tank taking our water capacity down by 14 gallons but freeing up space to install a second freezer . This feels like a good compromise since we have a high output watermaker. The fridge is a little larger than advertised so we have to dremel off the handles to make it fit, only a sailor would destroy a brand new freezer 😂 Join us next week when we get down to an even more major boat project, the installation of a marine air conditioning unit and new inverter/charger! 0:00 Intro 0:45 How to defrost a fridge on sailboat 😜 1:35 Recap 2:20 Massive package delivery before we depart the US 3:05 If ya can't beat them, join them!
