It’s a monumental achievement in what we have managed to get done. This journey hasn’t been easy. It’s been a relentless road of problem-solving, patience, persistence and hard work. But this… this is the side of sailing people don’t always see, its the part that makes the ocean crossings, the new horizons, and the distant landfalls feel so deeply rewarding when they finally come. Because one day soon, when we set off across the Atlantic ocean toward a new country, it’s the satisfaction in knowing the work and preparation has been done, which makes the sailing and the future arrival mean everything. For now though, let’s keep it simple stupid. Baby steps. Our first sea trial out into Hout Bay, putting the engine through a series of controlled tests, building a clear picture of how everything is working, and whether it’s all truly in sync. Starting by motoring directly upwind: 1,000 RPM… 2,000… 3,000… and then full throttle, logging speed and performance. Then we turn, repeating it all downwind, gathering the data that will tell the real story. Whilst it is great to be out on the water, every element matters in a perfect installation. The engine, the gearbox, the propeller, they all have to work in perfect harmony. These tests will reveal the load, the balanc and whether everything is dialled in just right. But sometimes, you don’t need the numbers to know the outcome. As from the very first movement of leaving the pen… I already knew. Something wasn’t right....

How important is an engine alignment and how do you do it? https://www.sailingnandji.com I couldn’t be happier with how this engine refit has come together. What was once a tired old engine room has been completely transformed. Fresh white bilge, crisp shiny new insulation, a refurbished generator and at the heart of it all, the new Yanmar 4JH110, bedded into her new home and ready to rumble. To make the engine work though, the shaft must be connected to the gearbox. This requires microscopic accuracy to protect the gearbox, engine mounts, cutlass bearing and importantly to remove vibration. With the experts laser aligning for perfect accuracy to meet warranty purposes, the next best thing to prevent all of the above and ensure years of reliability and protection, is to use a Sigma drive coupling by Brunton's.

To learn more about Keane Insurance and to seek your bespoke boat policy check them out here - https://keanespecialty.com/get-a-quote?pid=YSN When we first begun this project, of re-powering Nandji 2 many big decisions had to be made. The biggest of them all of course is — what engine do we trust for the next 10 years of sailing? For us, it was simple. We never like to do jobs half arsed, so lets Go all in.The Yanmar 4JH110, more power, better efficiency, and the kind of reliability you want when its 50 knots and your a lee to shore. But before we could install our new Yanmar… the engine room needed a complete refit. The old seized engine had to come out but blocking its removal… was our generator. An ageing Cummins Onan 6.5kW generator and whilst it is Still running, still useful… that is debateable . So the question is, Should it stay? Or is it time to let it go? Should we put the generator back in? Because the real question is do you actually need a generator on a cruising boat? And more importantly… do we?

With glassy conditions, barely a breath of wind, and a rare empty dock waiting for us, We carefully tugboat Nandji 2 out of her pen and made our way across the marina. Once alongside, it was time to say goodbye to the old seized engine that has been living in our cockpit for months, and believe it or not, we weren’t too sad to see it go. With the Seascape Marine crew on hand and ole trusty Fossil the crane swinging into action, before we knew it, a brand-new Yanmar 4JH110 was hovering above the cockpit. This a serious bit of kit, and a massive upgrade for Nandji 2. Once everything is fully installed, the reliability, the safety and the confidence this bigger engine will bring to our cruising plans for years to come is exactly what we have been working towards this whole time.

Instead of pointing the bow toward the horizon, we’ve been tied to the dock, and seven long, frustrating weeks deep in emails and discussions trying to piece together a plan to bring our boat back to life. But living on a boat means we are never short of jobs. So while we wait for an engine, we’ve been chipping away at everything else getting her ready for the moment we can finally set sail.

Any questions or thoughts about why I have put in the long hours and the hard work on Nandji 2, are answered so easily when I look around and see the ladies. It makes every recent challenge feel worthwhile. Whilst we have been through a tough patch of recent and there were moments that tested us in ways we didn’t expect. It was those difficult times that have strengthened us, drawn us closer, and reminded us that we’re at our best when we face things together. And Together as a family is where we belong.

When the ladies are away, the boys will play!! www.sailingnandji.com Whilst We never planned to be here now, feeling the intensity of a force 11 wind blow is honestly a highlight. It’s just one more reminder of what makes Africa so incredibly unique — raw, powerful, and wild in so many ways But we can’t go anywhere without an engine… After months of travelling across Africa, we returned to Nandji 2 only to discover the engine had seized. Seawater had found its way in while we were away, and suddenly we were facing a refit we never expected. The generator and the old, crusty engine are now out and living in the cockpit, and the decision’s been made to repower the vessel.

To take the positive out of the negative, it gives us the opportunity to complete the refit to the engine room. Remove the engines and clean the bilge from years of neglect. Once the bilge is workable, its time to strip the engine and learn how toast this engine really is.

BACK TO BOAT LIFE for ONE of us.... Sometimes love demands more of us than we expect. www.sailingnandji.com Honestly, Our lives have been all over the place of late. One moment we’re stranded in the Namibian desert… A new motor and two thousand kilometres later, we are back in South Africa, only to be told we must fly home with in 7 days. Nandji is packed up, Landji is in storage, and suddenly we’re in Australia and straight into completing our first round of IVF. From the month injections and doctor visits we created One precious embryo… one fragile hope. To give that little chance everything we had, we slowed down.We stepped away from the noise, and tried to just be healthy and happy. Skatepark runs, workouts, beach hangs, and early-morning surfs to quiet the mind. But calm never lasts long in the lives of Nandji. One morning in the surf, tore my MCL clean off the bone. Eight weeks in a brace, another hurdle we never saw coming. But with time slipping away, we made a choice we never thought we would face: Bonita will stay in Australia to complete the embryo transfer, and I’ll return to South Africa and the boat alone to get her ready for the Atlantic Oceana and the miles ahead. We didn’t plan to walk this road apart… But sometimes, to keep the dream alive, we have to divide to conquer.

Life is NOT EASY, how many more challenges can we have? www.sailingnandji.com We had dreamt for years about sailing to Africa, so when we finally arrived, we were determined to make the most of the opportunity and explore the African continent properly. We bought ourselves a Land Rover Defender and set off inland on our very own safari adventure. But what was meant to be a dream side-trip, quickly became the beginning of a chain of events that would test us more than we ever expected. Events that continually plague our journey It first begun with constant car troubles… and ended with a complete engine failure in the middle of the desert.One tow-truck ride, a weekend sleeping in a shed, and two long weeks waiting for a replacement engine later, we were finally back on the road driving 2,000 kilometres toward the life we know best: Sailing, and our floating home, Nandji 2. We have always sailed with our dog but Travelling with animals adds a layer of complexity, therefore our hound dog Marley has been living it up at a doggy resort while we’ve been away. We couldn’t wait to get back to him. But as we reached the border into South Africa, we were hit with another curveball. Even though we had been out of the country for months, immigration granted us only seven days and advised we must fly home.

Well that was all over before it begun... www.sailingnandji.com Six weeks ago, we rolled out of South Africa with one goal: to explore Southern Africa in our trusty Defender, Landji. But as it turns out… Landji had a completely different adventure in mind. Somewhere in the heart of the Namibian desert, casually bouncing along a lonely dirt road, everything changed. In an instant where Landji suffered catastrophic engine failure. A trip ending kind of problem By midnight, Landji was being winched onto the back of a tow truck, and we bounced along in the darkness back to a town while we tried to figure out what on earth just happened. Subsequently the weekend was spent sleeping in a shed, then two long weeks waiting in the desert, waiting for a new rebuilt engine to bring Landji back to life. And now—here we are. Stuck in the middle of nowhere. slightly delirious… and absolutely losing our minds.

Skeleton Bay and SURFING the WORLDS BEST WAVE! If ONLY we weren't BROKEN DOWN... www.sailingnandji.com We have just spent the last month on the adventure of a lifetime, over landing through the vast African desert in a Land Rover Defender. It’s been wild, rugged, sometimes frustrating and dusty… But honestly, even though we have been miles away from our sailboat and the ocean, we still can’t wipe the smiles off our faces! And I know what you’ve been thinking as you’ve watched us bouncing around down inland dirt tracks: why on earth are there surfboards in the car? Well, there was no way I was coming all this way to the country home to what many call the best wave on the planet, without trying to catch a few myself. After weeks of desert roads, starry nights, and bush camps… we’ve finally made it to the coast. And not far down the road is a place every surfer dreams about… Skeleton Bay.

Sailing around the world for us, isn’t just about hopping from one port to another, it’s about chasing experiences and visiting places on earth that are intriguing and beyond the shoreline www.sailingnandji.com Right now, we’re thousands of miles from the ocean, surrounded not by waves, but endless dunes of sand… and somehow, we are still happy! We took a massive leap of faith on this trip, setting off on the adventure of a lifetime across Southern Africa and now here we are, deep in the Namibian desert, bouncing along in Landji our Defender. The landscape is dry, rugged, and unforgiving… yet, it’s alive in ways we never expected. This striking contrast — the beauty hidden in the barren land is exactly what we came looking for. Africa is unlike anywhere else on Earth. And sure, our car has tested our patience more than once… but that’s how memories are made and what makes the journey unforgettable.
