NAMIBIA!!! WOW.... We found one of the most incredible and remote anchorages we have ever been to! Skylark was surrounded almost 360 degrees by HUGE sand dunes. This stretch of African is harsh and very inhospitable, in places like this, it shows. It was s...
Since South Africa was not an option for us anymore and it was a rainy season in Tanzania, we explored some options. One place stood out quite a lot - the airplane tickets cheap and it was kind of a good connection for us if we decide to go home to US for ...
