Will They Let Us Leave Madagascar? | S5 E22
After exploring and surfing Madagascar, we thought we were finally ready to leave.
We had a weather window, a plan, and our sights set on South Africa. But before we could cross the Mozambique Channel, we first had to convince the local authorities to let us go.
What should have been a routine checkout quickly turned into one of the most frustrating experiences we've encountered during our years of sailing around the world.
With tensions rising, a weather window closing, and the Mozambique Channel waiting for us on the other side, all we wanted was our paperwork and a clear path south.
Once underway, we faced one of the most challenging stretches of water in the world as we sailed from Madagascar towards Richards Bay, South Africa aboard our Leopard 46 catamaran, Happy Days.
Join our family of six as we navigate bureaucracy, weather routing, offshore sailing, and life at sea while continuing our circumnavigation of the globe.
