No Turkey, No Problem?! Thanksgiving in the Coastal Paradise of Knysna
Thanksgiving on the other side of the world… while living the boat life 🦃🌍⛵

In this episode, our sailing family drops anchor in the stunning coastal town of Knysna, South Africa, where celebrating Thanksgiving during our circumnavigation comes with a few unexpected challenges—starting with the hunt for a turkey!

From jaw-dropping views of the iconic Knysna Heads, to discovering rare marine life at the Seahorse Museum, hiking the breathtaking trails of Robberg Nature Reserve, and creating a uniquely South African twist on Thanksgiving, this adventure is packed with beauty, surprises, and real-life moments from our journey around the world.

If you love boat life, family sailing adventures, and following a real circumnavigation, this episode is for you.

We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world. After planning and saving for the past 6 years, we are now embracing our dream of sailing around the world on our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran. Follow our journey as we Circumnavigate the Globe in 3-4 years on a budget of $4,800/month (food, communication, fuel, insurance, transportation, mooring/marina & fun). We left the USA in October 2023 and plan to visit 26 countries on 5 different continents all while worldschooling a budding teen in our off grid tiny house.
