7000nm JOURNEY BEGINS | The BEST anchorage in AFRICA - Ep 444
For months, Nandji 2 sat still, held fast to the dock while we tore her apart and brought her back to life. But now, she’s moving again. The lines are off, the engine is purring, and we’re finally back where we belong, out here on the open ocean, with nothing but horizon ahead and miles disappearing beneath the keel. This is the beginning of a 7,000 plus, nautical mile journey across the Southern Atlantic, bound for the Caribbean. After not sailing for so long, it is A distance that feels almost too big to comprehend, unless we break it down, one passage at a time. And it all begins with this first step, 50 miles north to a small island off the coast of South Africa.

We did something silly and went on a side trip of a life time!
Check out our playlist on Youtube where we bought a Land rover Defender and went travelling through the southern countries of Africa. Exploring the Kalahari desert, surfing the skeleton coast, having our shoes stolen by Jackals, Giraffes casually blocking the road, way too many car problems..... The adventure really begins when things start to go wrong.... |

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!
