Chasing Adventure While Waiting for Weather | S5 E24
Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you never planned.
After an overnight sail from Richards Bay to Durban, we find ourselves weather-bound as we wait for a safe window to tackle South Africa’s infamous Wild Coast. Rather than spending our days staring at forecasts in the marina, we make a last-minute decision to head inland and discover one of the country’s most spectacular landscapes.
But first, this passage marks an exciting milestone for our family. For the very first time, Finn leaves Happy Days to crew aboard another yacht, while Archie steps into a new role on board as we continue watching our kids grow into capable young sailors.
From life aboard the boat to hiking to the top of the world’s tallest waterfall, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the unexpected detours become the highlights of the journey.
Join us as we trade the ocean for the mountains… before returning to the coast for what promises to be one of the most challenging passages of our circumnavigation.

Join us for ocean crossings, remote anchorages, surf adventures, homeschooling, boat projects, family life, and the everyday realities of raising four kids at sea. From tropical islands to challenging passages, we’re sharing the highs, lows, lessons and laughter that come with living this unconventional life.
