We SURVIVED The Notorious Mozambique Channel! Sailing to Africa… Ep 393Sailing around Madagascar has been a unique experience. It is full of the unknown and a place that every day surprises you, challenges you and makes you sit back and appreciate either what we have or the sights around us. Our last stop off in Madagascar was the town of Morondova, where we depart across the Mozambique channel to mainland Africa. We pick up 2 crew members for the journey, as there is the potential to be at sea for at least a week. What makes Morondova so unique, is that inland just an hours drive lays the Avenue of Baobabs. This world heritage traveller destination was the most magical sight we have expereinced maybe ever. We got up early in the morning to watch the sunrise here amongst the Baobab trees, some of which are over a thousand years old.

This is our first episode of Sailing Nandji. Nandji is our Roberts 40 yacht we bought two months ago in Airlie Beach. We are from South Australia and are learning how to sail. We love to try new things and adventure. This episode is about our journey leaving Adelaide, travelling across the country and moving onto our new vessel. We had a few surprises when we arrived but managed to take her out for our first sail.

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, We take on our greatest challenge yet and attempt to cross the Coral sea. This is our first offshore blue water sail and the longest sail we would have attempted yet. The 800nm sail we expected to take roughly 8 days at sea. The journey was full of challenges from dealing with 50 KNOTS! broken halyards, broken starter motors and NO AUTOPILOT. We had rough weather and we had calm winds. The adventure was filled with all things good and bad. An adventure really begins when things dont go to plan. We accept every challenge and work together to get the job done and safely arrive to Noumea in New Caledonia after hand steering for 8 days straight. What a trip!

'How to not buy a Yacht' by Captain Yosh
The story of my experiences when we first bought Nandji. Learn from our mistakes!
When we first looked into buying a yacht, we had no idea what we were looking for. We happily flicked through thousands of images of yachts on the internet thinking we knew a thing or two... I quickly realised I needed to do a lot more research. This ebook is about my experiences of purchasing a vessel, what I looked for and how we ended up with the boat we got!
