Our Toughest Decision Yet! Ep 114

Four years into our voyages and after having navigated multiple COVID outbreaks, frightening storms, and costly repairs, the crew of Gargoyle faces their toughest decision yet. Preparing to ship their sailboat half-way around the world. They discuss the options they considered for getting from Auckland New Zealand to the Med in the least amount of time. It all boils down to the choice; sail, sell, or ship the boat? They discuss the drivers behind a desire to get to the Med sooner rather than later. The challenges at home that impact a cruiser’s lifestyle and the need to balance family and a desire to explore. They talk about all three options and then walk you through the preparation needed to support their final choice, to ship Gargoyle. Learn the steps required to ship a sailing yacht 14,000 nautical miles in this first of two episodes.
