We finished crossing the Atlantic Ocean!! After hanging out in in Salvador for a few days we finally got to go island hopping again! A stop in the island of Ilha De Bom Jesus will be one we will never forget. While cooking breakfast we heard a loud "Squaaa...

This time we set off on a 700nm sail from St Helena to Ascension island! There are very few places to stop in the south Atlantic other than these two unique volcanic islands. After 3 weeks enjoying beautiful St Helena, we decided we HAD to check out Ascens...

NAMIBIA!!! WOW.... We found one of the most incredible and remote anchorages we have ever been to! Skylark was surrounded almost 360 degrees by HUGE sand dunes. This stretch of African is harsh and very inhospitable, in places like this, it shows. It was s...
We're back in civilization so our videos will be more frequent once again! In this video our former co-worker and friend, Micalene joins the crew and we set off on a 500 mile sail from Cape Town to Luderitz, Namibia. This is our first leg in our south Atla...
Hello Youtube!
First off, we want to say sorry for not posting a video in so long. We do however, have a good reason why which I’ll detail in my real time update below. In this video we dive into city life and immerse ourselves in the “Mother City” ...

Cooking on passage can be difficult, especially when you have been off the grid for awhile and unable to visit a supermarket. In this video chef Jennifer decides to challenge her cooking skills and starts the Mozambique Continental Cooking Challenge. Each ...
I had a lot of fun making this video by getting to look back at all the amazing memories we had in Madagascar! After we left Mayotte we made a brief stop in Madagascar as we slowly started making our way south down the Mozambique Channel. The places we vis...
It seems truly amazing friends only come into your life every once in awhile. This was one of those times as we are reunited with two other boats in Mayotte. In this video you will meet the “Mozambique Channel Sea Gypsies” a group of friends who would ...

After Skylark spent nearly 6 months in the Seychelles, we spend our final days enjoying the island paradise with Paula and Roy. We hike to a beautiful viewpoint, swim in crystal clear water and reflect on our time in the Seychelles. We said a difficult go...
We're back to cruising and so excited to have Paula and Roy join the crew! This vlog takes us to uninhabited (possibly one of the very few in the Seychelles) beaches and also to the quaint island of La Digue. Chris also goes up the mast to inspect our rigg...
If you watched our previous video you will know that we recently quit our pilot jobs to go back to the full time cruising life. That was not an easy decision but one that had to be made. In this video we start to settle back into the good life, the sailing...
Time is the most precious commodity of all. Life is happening in the present. It can be scary to take a risk, but also lead to some of the most beautiful and rewarding moments. If you put your dreams off to long they may never happen.
We wanted to “hav...
Better late than never! In this video we go back to May 2021 in the Chagos archipelago and set sail for the Seychelles over 1,100 nautical miles to the west. Our mooring permit (illegal to overstay) for Chagos was set to expire in a few days however, a la...
What an incredible place! In this vlog we set sail from the Maldives... destination, the Seychelles some 1600 nautical miles away. The wind required we head 600 miles due south before we could pick up the southeast trade winds, which would take us to the S...
