POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We are approaching a month here in the Seychelles—and boy has it delivered.

Our most frequent visitor joined us for two weeks of hikes, snorkels and Logan snuggles (honestly I think the only reason he visits 😉).

We’ve been lucky to spend this month with old friends and new (Photo number 2 captured by the incredible @wewentsailing).

With some gnarly crossings ahead, we are planning on taking it slow for the next month and taking a breath before bagging some major miles to get home.

Enjoy some snaps from the last month (in case you missed our stories)

Saskia’s incredible journey around the world by sail brought her to the stunning Château du Grand Lucé, where she hosted an unforgettable soirée.

✨ I had the absolute pleasure of creating this custom robe à l’anglaise for her—entirely tailored at a distance with no fittings! Seeing her vision come to life in such a magical setting is truly rewarding.

🕊️ Thank you, Saskia, for trusting me with this unique project. 🌍💕

Whitehaven Beach, located in the heart of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is renowned for its pristine beauty and unique ecological features. Stretching over seven kilometers along Whitsunday Island, this beach is adorned with powder-white silica sand, known for its exceptional brightness and fine texture, providing a remarkable contrast to the surrounding turquoise waters.

The beach is not only a visual spectacle but also a haven for a variety of marine life and birds. The clear waters and adjacent coral reefs create an underwater paradise, making it a popular spot for snorkeling and exploring the diverse aquatic ecosystem. Visitors often encounter sea turtles, tropical fish, and dolphins in the waters, while the surrounding islands and beaches are frequented by various bird species.

To preserve its natural beauty and delicate ecosystem, Whitehaven Beach is under the protection of the Whitsunday Islands National Park. This ensures that the beach remains unspoiled, and its unique flora and fauna continue to thrive. For those seeking to experience the untouched beauty of nature and gain a deeper understanding of marine biodiversity, Whitehaven Beach offers an unparalleled experience.

Exploring Whitehaven Beach, with its tranquil landscapes and rich biodiversity, provides a unique opportunity for reflection on the beauty of our natural world and the importance of preserving such pristine environments for future generations.

Touch down Cape Town!

Another three weeks down and 1,000nm travelled. After a beautiful weather window opened up to us from East London, we spent four days traveling with our boat hommies around the Southern most part of South Africa – Cape Aghulas – returning to the Atlantic after three Years! We then rounded the Cape of Good hope and arrived in Hout Bay, a small fishing town, where the mountains mesmerize us everyday—and the wind whips our faces off. We are really enjoying the cold nights and fishing culture. For Matt, it reminds him a bit of Alaska and for me it gives me all the warm fuzzies of my family in Maine.

With 25,000nm under our keel, I find it harder to write “meaningful”, “interesting” or “engaging” updates. We are certainly not the same blissfully unaware sailors we were 3 years ago. The term “salty sailor” has a whole new meaning. With all the amazing sailors around us and thousands of content creators out there, I’ve been feeling pretty insignificant as of late. But I suppose that’s the whole lesson of life! I digress; here are some pictures of the last month.

Lastly, I have to shout out the amazing sailing community we have been sailing with the past few months. From getting up at 3am to cast us off, sharing Uber rides jamming out to 50 cent, to going to bizarre taxidermy museums—we are so lucky to be sailing this wild coast with them. These are some scary oceans, and it makes it so much better to have friends nearby to share the trauma with 😉

It’s not too late to visit 😄

When in South Africa—go on safari!

Very lucky that our first port was an hours drive from Hluhluwe-iMfolozi park.

Very lucky to be surrounded by friends along this wild coast.

Our time in the Maldives is coming to a close. We will be offline, traveling to the Seychelles over the next 2 weeks.

The dichotomy of the Maldives has been absolutely fascinating to witness firsthand. From the man-made, curated beaches of the five star resorts, to the small vibrant islands where the locals call home—the differences couldn’t be more stark. The resorts cater to the rich, looking for an island paradise escape, where they can eat açaí bowls in the morning and drink mai tais in their private bungalows over looking the ocean at night. However, on the local islands, you will hear a call to prayer at 4:30 AM, which continues four more times throughout the day. The whole island will shut down for prayer (so it’s good to plan your trip to shore accordingly!), there is no alcohol to be found, nor a bikini in sight.

The Maldives are unique in requiring all foreign yachts to rent a government issued tracking device — despite our not being able to power it with our 120V system. The new policy seems to reflect more of a disconnect between the government and cruisers rather than a suspicion of cruisers by the local population. The residents we have met have been kind and generous. During our time here, we have felt safe and secure. Despite Logan not being allowed to shore, the locals have been excited and curious about him—always smiling and honking their horns as they pass.

How many people can anchor their home in an atoll full of dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, eels, stingrays, etc., etc.? As I write this, dozens of critically endangered Hawksbill turtles happily swim around our boat. The water here is some of the cleanest, clearest water I have seen in a very long time. The towns are clean, with no plastic take away containers or plastic bags in sight.

We have been lucky to have several buddy boats to enjoy this amazing country with. It’s always great to have fellow cruisers to bounce ideas off of and share milestones with.
