We Sailed into a Restricted Military Area 300 Miles Offshore

Exploring the Forbidden: Sailing into the Restricted Military Area off Colombian Coast

In an unprecedented attempt, Sailing Nahoa embarked on a 300-mile offshore journey to Malel Island – a destination so treacherous that it’s only been seen by the handful. As part of their South Pacific Crossing mission, they decided this was worth stopping by for.

A Remote Island Oasis in the Pacific Ocean

Nestled 300 miles away from Colombia’s coastline, lies an uncharted piece of paradise – Malel Island. This UNESCO Heritage site isn’t monitored for immigration or other amenities. It’s solely recognized due to its extraordinary marine life.

The Sailing Experience

With over 40,000 nautical miles sailed in their journey around the world, including 38 countries, this adventurous family knows how to push boundaries. The open ocean can be both challenging and beautiful; yet there are unique spots like Malel Island that offer more than meets the eye.

Encounter with Authorities

In their attempt to sail near this mystical island, they stumble upon unexpected encounters. The local Colombian authorities, part of the National Parks of Colombia, oversee this area strictly to protect its biodiversity.

A World Apart from Us

The team discovers this UNESCO heritage site is home to an array of wildlife, including hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, and silky sharks. Despite the risks involved, it’s places like these that make their adventure truly remarkable.

An Educational Journey

Being able to circumnavigate Malel Island adds an enriching educational aspect for the children aboard. They learn firsthand about marine biology and respect for our environment, something not easily replicated.

Advancing Their Journey

This adventure pushes Sailing Nahoa further into the unknown. After a brief encounter, they set off on their path to French Polynesia, about 26 days away from this point.

Sailing Tips and Preparations for the Pacific Crossing

To replicate a journey similar to theirs, preparation is key. Proper charts and navigation tools are essential, along with necessary permits from authorities like those they met in Malel Island.

The Enduring Journey Continues

Join Sailing Nahoa‘s extraordinary voyage and follow their progress as they continue on this thrilling Pacific adventure. Their next stop, French Polynesia – a land filled with more uncharted waters and exciting adventures.

Embarking on Your Own Pacific Crossing

If this epic journey has inspired you to set sail across the vast Pacific, make sure your preparation includes a comprehensive safety check, detailed charts, and essential sailing gear. Remember that venturing into uncharted territories comes with its own risks but also offers invaluable experiences like those witnessed on Malel Island.
