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 rigging as Skylark needs to be in ship shap...
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 life.
Our friends Paula and Roy join the ...
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 “have it all”, and be able to fly and sail the wor...
Just a Girl tackling a steel boat project to get her ready for our family to move aboard and sail round the world. In this week's episode Melissa insulates the pilot house and gets into to awkward spaces to paint an area of the bilge while Andy is hard at work in his day job.
We also have a...
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 Seychelles. Along our route was the Chagos Ar...

We're back! Sorry for the delay...In this video, we leave Maldives to pursue a pilot position in the USA, where we completed a Boeing 747 type rating together. After simulator training, we travelled back to the Maldives to prepare to relocate Skylark to the Seychelles and we also highlight som...
Gargoyle and her crew hail from the deep waters of the Pacific Northwest and the shallow Caicos Bank has everyone on edge. This week we start to get a feel for visual navigation where you must be able to see what is under the water to make your way to anchorages and marinas. After a nervous crossing...
We’ve reached the Turks and Caicos just in time as the winter storm off the northeastern coast of the United States has spun down and hit the islands. After a couple of quick runs to check in to the islands and talk a walk on the beach, we batten down the hatches and weather day after day of bluster...
This is a quite different passage for the crew of Gargoyle as rather than wait for favorable winds we must go during a lull. Getting East in the Caribbean this early in the year is difficult due to the trade winds as well as storms spinning off the northeast coast of the United States. We have a lul...
It is time for another passage and this time we have created a pre-passage checklist to help us remember to check all those various items before we sail. Check out the checklist in our Extras section at Then we go get our COVID test (#5) for admittance to Turks and Caicos and then we check out of ...
YouTube channels often tend to make the sailing lifestyle look so amazing with sunsets, beaches, and frosty drinks at every turn. In this episode we show you a bit of that but give you a glimpse “behind the curtain” at some of the challenges that come with living on the water. This week we check off...
This week we take a break from exploring to get Sam and Dean check out by the wonderful vets from the Cayman Animal Hospital. They not only take cats from out of the country, but they also make boat-calls! So, make it possible, we head into the Barcadere Marina, home of the George Town Yacht Club, t...
This is an exciting week for us as we finally upgrade our outboard motor and then take the dinghy out exploring. We visit Kaibo Beach Bar and Marina, Starfish Point and then make a midnight run to Bio Bay. Bio Bay is known for it's bio luminescence and is a must see night trip.
Follow us on Ins...
We made it to the Maldives! When we arrived we received the warmest welcome from our agent, Assad and all the officials. They came to Skylark to complete the entry formalities and brought with them a cake and fresh lobster for us! We were now free to start cruising in the Maldives and found an uninh...
Let us check out Grand Cayman! We met a transplanted Canadian, Joe, and he has offered to take us for a tour of his home island. So, we pack up and head in for a day trip around Grand Cayman and the sights to be seen on the South and East Side of the Island. The Blowholes, Lighthouse, Blue Iguana Re...
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. Well, at least if the airlines had not stopped flying. After a less than successful trip to Hell we stretch o...
Free from quarantine, we are exploring Grand Cayman with our friends Travis and Mary from Seahorse. Restaurants, beach bars and sunsets await but the best fun is a tour. A tour of the Cayman Island Distillery and samples of their Seven Fathoms Rum aged in barrels sunk to the bottom of the sea! Come ...
Following our 5 day passage from Shelter Bay Panama to the Cayman Islands, the crew settles in for the prescribed 14 day quarantine. While we can order provisions online for delivery to the pier, all activity must be pre-cleared by the port security office. In addition, we need to move the boat base...
Gargoyle has spent one full year in Central America and now it is time to start a new chapter in the journey, exploring the Caribbean. Catching one of the few weather windows before April, we headed out to make the 600nm passage in the company of Seahorse. As we would be passing along the coast of N...
After 18 months exploring from the glaciers of Alaska to the boobies of the Galapagos, Gargoyle is in need a trip to the yacht spa. It has been a full two years since Gargoyle was last hauled and we are anxious to see how the bottom paint has been holding up to the monthly scrapings and the time at ...
Through the Panama Canal in 72 hours!! On the Monday before Christmas, Gargoyle anchored in La Playita anchorage to await inspection and measurement. In just a short 72 hour, we would have made the journey from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In this episode, we take you along with us as we pickup our ...
It was just over a year ago that we exited Zihuantanejo harbor to make water and our overheat alarm sounded. At first we assumed our raw water intake had ingested a plastic bag, but it turned out to be the biggest boat challenge of 2020. Mechanics in Mexico, Nicaragua, and the Galapagos where unable...
While we have been focusing on the big-ticket items like our engine repair and hot water tank, this week we do a few “odd jobs” on Gargoyle. Decalcifying the heads, replacing freshwater tank level sensors, replacing our defective Raymarine Axiom, and repairing our DJI drone. It is a fun week working...
