Skúli practiced seamanship and joined a Norwegian ship and sailed far and wide. He was in Norway for a while but moved from there to Iceland and lived in Seyðisfjörður. He worked as a seaman from there and later from Vopnafjörður. The family came west to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1903 and the same year moved north to the Lundar settlement. They took land near Swan Lake (Álftvatn) where they lived for seven years. Then they moved to Winnipeg, where Skúli worked as a house builder.
