Our Last Sail Together (7x35)

:

My dad often speaks of life in chapters. When one chapter ends, the next begins, and this video really sums up our emotions as we approach the close of 2 chapters in our adventures. Our passage sailing from the Ragged Islands in the Bahamas is the close of a 10 year chapter of Delos returning to the mainland USA. The crew is a little emotional because we also know that this will be our last time sailing together with just the 4 of us. When we return to Delos in a few months Karin and I will be with our lovely little daughter Sierra! We start out motoring across the shallow waters of the Bahama Bank, and are able to do some pretty cool filming with the GoPro on a boat hook showing our keel slipping through the shallow waters. I break out our sextant and have some fun seeing how close to the GPS position we can get our our noon sites. We are down to our last onion and a quarter tomato by the time we make landfall in the Florida Keys!
