Do I have medical insurance? No, I don't. So what do I do in case of an incident? Like on a motorcycle taxi where I got burned on the exhaust pipe which turned into a very nasty infection.
I went to see a doctor who checked me out and prescribed a strong treatment. That nasty infection kept me...
We thought leaving South Africa would be easy. We were wrong.
Our last stop before checking out was Langebaan — and if we're honest, it might just be one of our favourite spots on the entire South African coastline. Kite surfers everywhere, wing foiling from the boat, sunsets and sunrises we w...
In this premiere episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real life of a sailor in West Africa. It’s not just wind and water; it’s about survival. I’ll share the untold stories of my time in Cape Verde—learning Creole from the women I loved, navigating the "drunken sailor" lifestyle, a...

We left Hout Bay after weeks of boat work and paperwork, ready to see a little more of South Africa before saying goodbye to it for good. First stop: anchoring beneath Table Mountain in Cape Town — a view we didn't need to go ashore to appreciate. From there, we sailed to Dassen Island, a prote...
The wait is over—Galopin is finally out of the water. Join us in Dakar for a traditional African haul-out where power tools are banned, and everything is done by hand.
After months of waiting and navigating visa renewals, the team carefully lifts Galopin onto the cart. Watch the meticulous process ...
For weeks, Cape Town had been all about fixing the boat, chasing paperwork, and getting ready for the next leg of our journey. But once the biggest jobs were finally behind us, we realised we'd barely scratched the surface of one of the most beautiful cities we'd ever seen — so we decided ...
Welcome to The Gambia—the small sliver of a country carved by colonizers but defined by its incredibly chilled vibe. In this episode, we link up with a local legend, Rasta Babs (Babacar), to explore the authentic side of this West African gem. No AI-generated travel guides here; just real experience...

Our visa extension was rejected. After driving five and a half hours from Hout Bay to George to collect our decision in person, we got news we weren't expecting — and had to figure out how to pivot fast.
We turned a stressful day into an opportunity, joining a half mar...
After three months in Senegal, the port police told me I had to leave the territory to renew my visa. The only option? A trip to The Gambia, the small country carved out of Senegal by colonial history.
In this video, I team up with my local friend As to navigate the chaotic overland route from Daka...
Before we could leave South Africa behind for good, Happy Days needed to be ready for everything the Atlantic could throw at her. What followed was days of running rigging failures, 50-knot winds in the marina, and a job list that seemed to grow faster than we could tick it off.
This episode we...

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.
