SURVIVING the MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL calm seas, engine trouble and a stolen fishing line
The notorious sailing passage from Mayotte to South Africa through the Mozambique Channel is one of the most challenging stretches of water to navigate by sailboat. This unpredictable route demands skill, patience and flexibility as it combines intense weather patterns strong ocean currents, intense weather patterns and limited safe anchorages, making the passage perilous for even seasoned sailors. Despite calmer weather, our journey is anything but smooth. Engine troubles and a feisty marlin stealing all our fishing line add tension to an already nerve-wracking trip. With limited fuel after motoring for three days, we anxiously calculate how far we can sail before running out. The treacherous waters and constant problem-solving test our resilience, but the beauty of the open ocean keeps us going. Don’t miss this thrilling episode packed with challenges, adventure and lessons from life at sea
