This is how we dock our boat and prepare it for storms in a new harbor known for damaging boats. We even witness a few major boat docking fails ourselves.

Everything happened so fast and we did all we could to keep things right way up. It was dirty, loud, and dangerous. We never thought it would be like this. Would we do it again?
See our secret of what we did when sailing to the island of Terceira. Hint: T...
Welcome to the ultimate guide to Provisioning. This episode will be super useful for sailors and cruisers planning either an offshore passage or a charter, as there's good information in here for provisioning for both occasions.
Thanks for watching! Pleas...
In this week's episode we explore Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. This massive rocky wasteland could be confused for Mars and so we set off to explore the most off the beaten path locations here!
While this place is very arid and dry, it is strangely bea...
This week, we scout out a bargain on some cheap winches... that are on the other side of Europe.

We are guided in by DOLPHINS under SPINNAKER in the final episode of our 10 part 2600 mile trans-atlantic OCEAN CROSSING. We left in our sailboat from St. Maarten 17 days ago on a doublehanded sail to Horta, Azores.
Are we still friends at the end? Did w...
In this week’s episode we’re charging hard! We had a great run on our way south from Azores that we changed our final destination to 200 miles further to the Canary Islands. We encounter squalls, heavy weather and strong winds along the way but all the...
This one is going to cost us! Catching the drone at sea isn't easy, but the shots are worth it. We crash the drone in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean while on an offshore sailing passage to Horta, Azores.

We start where we finished up last episode - 100 miles offshore on a 4 day trip to Madeira.
After a great first day, we started to settle into the swing of things underway. With the motor on to get through the Azores high, we saw a disturbing thing while d...
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...
After a few weeks of waiting, we finally found a good weather window to sail to Madeira.
In preparation we went out for a shake out sail and to clean the hull however with strong winds approaching, getting back to the dock and typing up was a lot more cha...
We were living on a prayer alright, a prayer for some wind! But what we found was some awesome seamanship and squeezing every bit of polar optimals that we could out of the old gal. Even double-handed sailing can feel like single-handing at times.

After a packed few weeks of sailing in various parts of the world, our feet are firmly planted back on Millie with plans to get her sailing again.

In our last few days aboard the Beneteau 48 on our sailing trip around the Amalfi Coast we get into some more exploring, checking out the town of Amalfi itself. After a forecast of no wind for a few days, we were pleasantly surprised when we set sail to go...
That blip comes on the radar. Is it a squall? Is it a boat? Most boats this far offshore have some type of AIS, not all, but many. So who is this mysterious blip showing up on our radar?

We travelled for three days on cheap flights and finally arrived in Naples, w...
We set the spinnaker and really get our tiny home at sea rolling. We find a huge convergence zone filled with squalls, storms, and lightning. The weather models have no consensus. This isn't going to be an easy night!
