We sailed to SOUTH AFRICA!!! - Outside Watch Vlog #17
After nearly 6000 nautical miles sailed and 8 countries later we finally make landfall on the mainland continent of Africa!! At 01:00 on December 2nd 2021 we tied Skylark to the quarantine dock in Richards Bay, South Africa. It's difficult to express in words the joy we felt stepping off onto that dock for the first time. The notorious Mozambique Channel is now behind us! ...little did we know the Indian ocean was saving its toughest conditions for the last stretch(coming up in the next video!)
We featured our good friend Markus in this video and his incredble story of circumnavigating the planet without using a single form of motorized transport. Check out his website at: www.routesofchange.org.

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
