Boarded by wild MACAWS a SECOND TIME!? We love sailing in BRAZIL!🇧🇷 - Outside Watch Vlog #28
I couldn’t believe it when we were boarded by wild macaws in the Brazilian jungle….but a second time!?!? Almost immediately after dropping the anchor at Ilha De Bom Jesus, our friends flew back on board Skylark. The birds seemed to be enjoying themselves biting and tasting everything on the boat, they actually bit a small whole in our mainsail UV strip! Definitely an experience we will never forget!
After we said goodbye to the birds we sailed further south down the coast to Gamboa and Baie De Camamu. We have been absolutely blown away by this off the beaten path coast line of Bahia. We love Brazil!!!

Outside Watch - SV Skylark
Hi! We're Chris and Jennifer. This is our story of how our life was turned completely upside down in just a matter of weeks! We are both commercial airline pilots for a major airline in Asia however, due to the covid-19 downturn, we have an unexpected amount of free time! A blessing in disguise in many ways, as suddenly we have found ourselves as full time liveaboard sailors! We're so excited to share and document this new (and a bit scary) time in our lives! Join us as we take to the sea and sail our Amel 54 across the world! For more information about us, you can visit our website and blog: www.outsidewatch.com
