Sailing into the JAWS OF THE TIGER! 5 day passage to MAYOTTE - Outside Watch - Vlog #13
In this vlog we set off on our next leg across the Indian Ocean, an 800 nautical mile sail from the Seychelles to Mayotte! The passage is not known to be an easy one as the compression zone near the top of Madagascar is notorious for some gnarly conditions. The strong southeast trade winds hit the landmass of Madagascar, compress to create strong wind, huge seas and the area is nick named the “Jaws of the tiger.”
In the end, we have a beautiful passage overall and arrive in Mayotte, which is technically part of France. Mayotte still feels very much like east Africa until you find a bakery!
Real Time Update:
We made it to Richards Bay, South Africa!!! We are currently waiting for a weather window to continue our way to Cape Town.

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
