We RAN OUT OF FUEL Crossing the Indian Ocean! – Ep. 139

Sailing across the Indian Ocean is hard. There's just no other way to say it. The waves are big, the swell comes from seemingly random directions and the weather is completely unpredictable. All that adds up to a lot of stress for sailors and wear and tear on the boat. For our passage from...

Chillin’ In Chagos – Ep. 138

There's no better way to describe Chagos than as a remote, exotic paradise smack in the middle of the Indian Ocean! The only people who get to visit these gorgeous atolls are cruisers who arrive on their own boats. The islands are deserted (not entirely by choice...) and offer some pretty ama...

Let’s Sail To The REMOTE ARCHIPELAGO Of Chagos! – Ep. 137

Way in the middle of the Indian Ocean, there's a tiny group of islands known as Chagos. The only way to get there is by boat but fortunately, we've got Starry Horizons! This was a fairly quick passage down from the Maldives, but it required us to sail through the doldrums. That meant l...

10 Thoughts On Sailing The Maldives

Cruisers who actually have sailed through the Maldives are pretty rare. So since we spent 8 weeks there, we figured we'd share 10 thoughts about what it's like to sail in the Maldives. We'll talk about everything from Formalities to Sailing Conditions and from Provisioning to our Fa...

King Neptune Hates Party Fouls – Ep. 136

Crossing the equator is always a special occasion and on our last passage in the Maldives, we crossed for the 3rd time on our circumnavigation. Unfortunately, this time didn't go quite as smoothy as the first two. We just may have accidentally spilled champagne everywhere as crossed AND it wa...

Starry Horizons: The BEST Luxury Resort in the Maldives – Ep. 135

The luxury resorts in the Maldives may be famous around the world for their hospitality, but Starry Horizons is a pretty good holiday destination herself. To prove it, we had two sets of friends come join us for some fun in the sun in the Maldives. Resort activities included surfing, sailing, snor...

ALL ALONE at an ABANDONED 5-Star Resort in the Maldives! – Ep. 134

The Maldives are famous around the world for their luxury resorts. But what is like to explore one that's abandoned? We sailed to the island of Dholhiyadhoo where a 5-star resort was under construction when the project went bankrupt. Now the island sits empty. Just us and crumbling building...

Keep Calm When Dealing with Maldivian Bureaucracy – Ep. 133

Our Maldivian adventures continue with a bit of a look into the darker side of cruising the Maldives: the bureaucracy. After waiting a week for our cruising permit to come back, we were now faced with the task of getting diesel. Should be simple enough, right? Well, not when a new two day old for...

What A Welcome Into The Maldives! – Ep. 132

We knew the Maldives would have beautiful clear water and stunning islands. What we didn't know was how incredibly friendly the people would be! We arrived into Uligan to complete our clearances and the people on the island welcomed us like long lost family. They hosted us in their homes for...

It’s Tough To Sail When There Is NO WIND! – Ep. 131

The weather forecast for our next Indian Ocean passage to the Maldives called for very light winds. But that was better than westerly winds which were soon to be coming so we made the decision to set sail to Uligan. Knowing we'd be in for light winds doesn't make it any less frustratin...

Searching For Leopards In Wilpattu National Park – Ep. 130

To wrap up our time in Sri Lanka, we went searching for leopards in the absolutely gorgeous Wilpattu National Park. As the apex predator in Sri Lanka, they're pretty chill about hanging out on the ground, but even still, they're hard to find! Even if you're looking right at them! T...

Riding The Most Beautiful Train In The World – Ep. 129

The iconic blue train ride from Kandy to Ella in Sri Lanka is one of the most scenic train rides in the world. So of course we had to check it out for ourselves and see if it was worth the hype. IT WAS! Taking the train allowed us to tour the mountains of Sri Lanka and their famous tea fields. ...

That’s A LOT Of Stairs At Sigiriya Rock! – Ep. 128

We continue exploring Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle with a hike up the imposing Sigiriya rock (all 1,200 stairs!), take a tuk-tuk tour around the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, visited the Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple (aka The Golden Temple of Dambulla) and finished with a visit to Kandy and a cu...

Exploring Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle – Ep. 127

Cruising as we're used to isn't really allowed in Sri Lanka as there are very limited ports you can stop at. Instead, we decided to use Trincomalee as a base to explore inland, something we rarely get to do! With our friends Kimi and Trevor from s/v Slow Flight, we set off on an incredib...

Starting Our Indian Ocean Crossing: Sailing To Sri Lanka – Ep 126

The Indian Ocean is big. It's daunting. It can throw wicked storms at you out of nowhere. But in order to sail around the world, we had to sail cross it. The first step in that journey was sailing from Phuket, Thailand over to Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Amazingly enough, at just over 1,000nm ...

Let’s Explore Phi Phi Island – Ep. 124

Up to this point, most of our time in Thailand had been spent in boatyards. And that's not exactly how we pictured spending our time in SE Asia. So with the boatwork (finally!) finished, we set out to do a more thorough exploration of Phi Phi Island. This time our friend Carlanna joined us t...

We Need To Get Out Of The Boatyard – Ep. 123

We'd been having a pretty rough time lately, with a bad haul-out, followed by hitting a reef which necessitated another haul-out only a few weeks later. So when my sister wanted to plan a trip to Thailand, we were absolutely thrilled to have a good excuse to leave the boatyard and explore Phuk...

Hit A Reef? Haul Out AGAIN! – Ep. 122

There's a saying that if a sailor claims to have never run aground, they're either on their first sail or lying. We're certainly not on our first sail, but we've been fortunate that all previous encounters with the sea floor have been with soft mud or sand. That was about to ch...
