Sailing the Windward Passage Ep 51
This is a quite different passage for the crew of Gargoyle as rather than wait for favorable winds we must go during a lull.

Hell and Back Grand Cayman Ep. 45
Today we are getting off the boat and going to Hell! Hell is based around a unique geological formation and is also the home to a real Post Office where you can mail things postmarked, Hell.

Following our 5 day passage from Shelter Bay Panama to the Cayman Islands, the crew settles in for the prescribed 14 day quarantine.

Engine Fixed – Happy Dancing Ep. 39
It was just over a year ago that we exited Zihuantanejo harbor to make water and our overheat alarm sounded.

Checking into Panama after Sailing from the Galapagos Islands Ep.36
Following a seven-day passage from the Galapagos Islands to Vista Mar Marina in Panama, the crew of Gargoyle checks into the marina and the country.

Sailing to the Galapagos Islands on Your Own Boat – What You Need to Know Ep.35
Since returning from 6 weeks in the Galapagos Islands we have been inundated with questions. How much does it cost? What is the deal with permits?
