Outrunning a STORM! 1,100 mile sail to the SEYCHELLES! - Outside Watch Vlog#9
Better late than never! In this video we go back to May 2021 in the Chagos archipelago and set sail for the Seychelles over 1,100 nautical miles to the west. Our mooring permit (illegal to overstay) for Chagos was set to expire in a few days however, a large low-pressure system started developing to the west along our route. We are tasked with difficult decision making in determining whether or not it was safe to make the trip. Ultimately, with the help of experienced weather routers, we make the go decision and manage to outrun a potential threat.
We’re now 2/3 of the way across the Indian Ocean. It looks like the Seychelles will be our home for the next little while given the current situation of the world, working constraints, seasons, etc…. Regardless, we are really looking forward to getting to really know and explore this beautiful small island nation!

Outside Watch - SV Skylark
Hi! We're Chris and Jennifer. This is our story of how our life was turned completely upside down in just a matter of weeks! We are both commercial airline pilots for a major airline in Asia however, due to the covid-19 downturn, we have an unexpected amount of free time! A blessing in disguise in many ways, as suddenly we have found ourselves as full time liveaboard sailors! We're so excited to share and document this new (and a bit scary) time in our lives! Join us as we take to the sea and sail our Amel 54 across the world! For more information about us, you can visit our website and blog: www.outsidewatch.com
