In this episode we sail to the legendary Salvation islands (Iles du Salut) off the coast of French Guiana, a hauntingly beautiful archipelago with a dark history.

Devil's Island was France's brutal offshore penal colony, For a hundred years, between 1853 and 1853, it was one of the most feared places on earth, where prisoners were shipped to join the colony of the damned. The harsh tropical conditions led to a terrifying mortality rate, where 75% of inmates died. Today, the abandoned, crumbling buildings are returning to nature, a silent reminder of their savage past.

The Cruising Kiwis

Our sailing videos are almost at the fringe of the cutting edge of informative travel entertainment confirming life is far too important to take seriously. We are a New Zealand liveaboard family of five: Rob (50+), Rachel (21-ish), Finn (19), Declan (17), Ivan (14) circumnavigating nomadically by sail boat learning from nature, new cultures and life experience. We hope to inspire others to explore different ways to live and educate while having a truckload of fun along the way.
