When the Ocean Tests EVERYTHING - Sailing Mauritius to South Africa
From the turquoise calm of Mauritius to the wild edge of South Africa, this passage tested everything we thought we knew about offshore sailing.
Join our sailing family as we push our 2018 Leopard sailing catamaran through 48+ hours of rough seas, relentless night watches, and howling winds up to 38 knots on a true passage making adventure to Richards Bay. With fishing buoys lurking in the dark, cargo ships everywhere, and a torn sail bag adding extra tension, every mile demanded focus and teamwork.
Between the squalls and the stress, the ocean still delivered its magic—two fish landed, whales surfacing alongside us, and unforgettable moments that remind us why we chose bluewater cruising as a way of life. This is raw, real travel family sailing, where learning never stops and worldschooling happens one wave at a time.
If you love offshore passages, real-life challenges at sea, and honest family adventures on the open ocean, this one’s 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.
