In this short video we show you the technique of anchoring, using two anchors one attached to the other. This is a useful technique if you know the holding is poor or you are in for a strong blow. See our TOP TIP with the trip line.

It has been an incredibly busy week as we have run down our extensive checklist to make certain Gargoyle was 100% ready for the 8-day passage to the Galapagos Islands. We have crawled through the lockers and inspected steering cables and exercised thru hulls. Hauled Carla up the mast to inspect the ...

After making our decision to head down to the Galapagos Islands for a month of exploration, we now need to get Gargoyle and ourselves ready. Thanks to Javier at Yachting Galapagos, we have a full list of all requirements and we have spent the last two weeks working through Galapagos specific tasks a...
We make our escape from the marina once we hear lockdown is lifted! We rush to get the boat ready to leave, finishing off critical projects for living autonomously off-grid. After a massive provision shop we set sail and start living on anchor full time in the uninhabited islands close by.
Thanks ...
We buy an old sailboat and spend months working hard to fix it up during lockdown in the South of France. We live in the marina for 4 months working on refitting the boat to get our tiny home ready to sail full time. We take on the project of renovating our teak decks and install hot water, a shower...
We prepared and planned for this journey over many years but like almost everyone, we missed the risk of a global pandemic completely altering our world as we know it. However, we have vowed that rather than hide from the new reality, we are going to embrace it and move forward to discover how other...
After sailing over 6,000 nautical miles in the first six months of our journey we have now spent the last 6 months tied to a dock in Nicaragua. COVID-19 has swept the world and just like everyone else back home, we are going a bit bonkers. Lucky for us the marina has closed the gates and has allowed...
Ever wonder how they make a perfect cigar?? While Gargoyle’s crew is relaxing at Puesta Del Sol, we decided to check out Estelí, one of the largest areas in Central America for cigar manufacturing.

WE transit the Panama Canal on our friends custom built sailboat for the first time ever.
For many cruisers, a transit of the Panama Canal is a milestone accomplishment. The canal itself is an engineering wonder of the world and it was a very impressive experience for all of us.
We arrived to Sh...
Leaving the Mar Menor for what we hope will be the last time was an unexpected challenge. A freak current almost drags a local boat through before the bridge opens and we have to take avoiding action not to get caught up in it all.
Happily exploring ashore means more than just finding the local sho...
Since we first departed Vancouver, touring flor de Cana and sampling their amazing rum has been on our ultimate bucket list. It's Kevin's birthday so we've opted for the VIP tour, which is a private tour with all the rum you can drink plus the bonus of tasting from the family reserve ...
We depart Bahia del Sol and make a quick overnight trip to the Gulf of Fonseca to spend some time at anchor and to check into Isla de Tigre, Honduras. Unfortunately, the Papagayos winds came early forcing the crew to seek shelter at Isla Meanguera to wait out a window to sail to Nicaragua. After t...
Being full time liveaboards and sailing to remote islands, its important to us to be able to stay in contact. We love using Facetime and Kids Messenger to stay connected with our beautiful grandkids. Our families and friends follow our adventures on You Tube and Instagram (SV Sunrise).

I hope you are exhausted after watching this one! All of the cruisers in our anchorage decided to rent a van and drive three hours to climb Mt. Pelée, a deadly volcano! The weather was by no means perfect but we had an absolute blast with all of our sailing friends!
