Sooo yeah… things got sketchy sailing Brazil’s north coast. After thirteen days at sea crossing the Atlantic, we were all just stoked to be back near land — ready for beaches, calm seas, and a little bit of paradise. But, of course, that would just be flat out boring..right? What was supposed to be an easy cruise quickly turned into a battle against nonstop storms, a busted anchor, and a few surprises we definitely didn’t sign up for. Welcome to Brazil’s wild north coast. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #brazil #sailing #sailingadventure

In today’s episode, the crew splits up! Doc, Jorge, and I head to Rio de Janeiro, while Nicole and Xenia mix it up with the locals in Fernando de Noronha. Last time, we wrapped up our wild Atlantic crossing and finally made landfall in Brazil—what a relief that was.

In today’s episode, the crew and I press on in our wild crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. After setting sail from Saint Helena on our 1,700-mile journey to South America, we’ve already left hundreds of miles behind us. But with roughly a thousand miles of open ocean still ahead, we face the unknown—storms on the horizon, sketchy ship encounters, and the all-too-familiar challenge of keeping our boat in one piece…. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #sailing #oceancrossing #remotesailing

We thought we could cross the Atlantic in just two weeks...But as you’ll soon see, ocean crossings never really go as planned. When you're out on the open ocean, schedules mean nothing — the wind does what it wants, the weather turns without warning, and boat problems? Yeah, those show up when you least expect them. If you caught our last episode, you know we’ve been exploring Saint Helena, one of the most remote islands on Earth. And today, we’re finally setting sail — 1,700 miles across the Atlantic to South America. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #sailing #sailingtheworld #oceancrossing

Last time on Ripple Effect, the crew and I wrapped up our wild ten-day sail from Namibia to Saint Helena — one of the most isolated islands on Earth. Nestled in the South Atlantic, roughly halfway between Africa and South America, and over 1,200 miles from any major landmass, Saint Helena might just be one of the best-kept secrets on the planet. In today’s episode, we’ll explore the island and hopefully catch a glimpse of what life is really like in one of the world’s most remote communities. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #remotetravel #sainthelena #unknownplaces

Previously on Ripple Effect, we set sail from the coast of Namibia, bound for one of the most isolated islands on Earth — Saint Helena. Now, we pick up the journey deep in the heart of the Atlantic, just past the halfway mark. As we cross the Prime Meridian, we embrace strange sailing traditions — but the calm doesn’t last. In the dead of night, trouble strikes when our sails become a tangled mess.. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #oceancrossing #sailing #boatproblems

In today’s episode, we’re taking you along on a challenging, multi-day journey as we depart the Skeleton Coast of Namibia and head across the Atlantic Ocean toward St. Helena—one of the most remote islands on Earth. This raw and uncut video log is meant to give you a front-row seat to the true realities of boat life during an expedition of this scale. We're not hiding anything, and we’re certainly not sugarcoating it. Today, we’ll confront the tough parts—seasickness, sleep deprivation, and the emotional toll of life at sea. We’ll be sharing our most honest, unfiltered experiences as we navigate the unforgiving ocean.

In this episode, the crew and I journey to one of the world’s most unique and mysterious countries — Namibia. Our last adventure saw us sailing out of Cape Town, braving our first multi-day voyage and battling fierce 40-knot winds as we arrived at the remote Port of Lüderitz. But our story actually begins before that — when Doc and I connected with Giel du Toit, a local sailor renowned for his sustainability work and his impact on Lüderitz’s sailing scene. Giel offered to be our guide, taking us beyond the coastline to uncover some of Namibia’s most breathtaking and forgotten places. Together, we’ll explore a long-abandoned diamond mining town lost to the sands of time, track down rare and exotic wildlife, and set sail once more — this time to a surreal stretch of coastline where the desert collides with the Atlantic Ocean: the legendary Skeleton Coast. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #namibia #skeletoncoast #sailingafrica

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Sailing Ripple Effect! Last time, Doc and I brought a fresh crew of rookie sailors aboard and dove straight into prepping for an epic two-month journey together.

Hello everybody and welcome back to a new season of sailing ripple effect..After wrapping up an unforgettable journey from Madagascar to Cape Town South Africa with Gabi, Berra and Alex it was time to look ahead towards the next chapter of our voyage around the world. Over the next two months, these three strangers — now suddenly roommates — are going to discover what they’re really made of. They'll be pushed, stretched, and pulled far beyond their comfort zones. There will be yelling. There will be laughter. Probably some tears too. And then there will be those rare, indescribable moments of pure magic — the kind only the sea can offer. Things will get hard. But I have no doubt they’ll step off this boat changed for the better. So stick around. Watch their journey unfold.

Today, we set out on the final leg of our sailing journey from the Seychelles to Cape Town, South Africa. After two unforgettable and wild months navigating the Indian Ocean, this incredible season is sadly coming to a close... As we depart from Port St. Francis, we’re heading into one of the most legendary and feared stretches of water in the sailing world: the Cape of Good Hope.

After an epic seven-day sail across the Indian Ocean from Madagascar, my crew and I made landfall in Richards Bay—a gritty little industrial port on the South African coast. With just a short window before our next passage, we packed in as much as we could: an unforgettable safari, some birthday celebrations, and essential boat repairs. Now, it’s time to hit the water again. The forecast is uncertain, with conflicting weather models ahead, and our exact destination is still up in the air. Will we make it to East London, Port Elizabeth, or Jeffreys Bay? Join us as we chase the Agulhas Current down the coast and see just how far we can get before the next weather window slams shut. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #sailing #southafrica #sailingafrica

Today, my crew and I will set out on a risky multi-day sail across the Mozambique Channel from Madagascar to South Africa. Feared in the sailing community, the channel is notorious for its unpredictable weather and violent wave formations. But what makes it especially dangerous is the Agulhas Current—an aggressive river of water running south along the South African coast. As we cross, it will push us southward, but it's hard to predict how much correction we’ll need. The real threat emerges when cold fronts from the Southern Ocean collide with the current, creating treacherous conditions and rogue waves over 30 meters high. Many ships have been damaged and even lost in these waters. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #sailing #mozambiquechannel #alguhascurrent

This is the ridiculous story of how we sailed to Madagascar and on the way stopped at a sandbank to take pictures but then realized it was inhabited by nomads, then made it to Madagascar only to have our dinghy flip over on our way to shore, then saw the iconic baobab trees that only grow in Madagascar, and finally found a random stranger to help us deliver provisions and 250 gallons of diesel back to our boat. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #madagascar #exotictravel #africa

Today we will find out if my crew and I can survive on a deserted island in the middle of the Indian ocean. We have just spent the past 4 days sailing from The Seychelles to Cosmoledo, a remote uninhabited island nearly a thousand miles off the coast of Africa. As sailors circumnavigating the planet, the thought of getting stranded is something often in the back of our minds. So we decided to take advantage of this opportunity and stimulate a survival situation on the deserted island. Stick around, because this.. should be interesting. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #survival #desertedisland #remotetravel

Today my crew and I will set sail to a small deserted island far off the coast of Africa, known as Cosmoledo. This will be the first multi day sail with our new crew of rookie sailors, so it will be a true test to see how they respond to sea sickness, confined living, and sailing around the clock. Our journey, though, would begin 600 miles away from Cosmoledo in the Seychelles where we had been stuck dealing with immigration issues… ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #sailing #remotetravel #sailingadventures

For the past couple of weeks my crew and I have been stuck in the Seychelles due to some immigration complications. What an awful place to be stuck, right? With the extra time on our hands we have been exploring the islands, eating new foods, and making friends with the locals. A few nights ago we met a friendly farmer named Gerry, who gave us a lift to our boat. That’s when we got the brilliant idea to spend a day working on his farm to see what life is like for a farmer in the Seychelles. Gerry was up for it, so a couple of days later, we headed to his farm. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #seychelles #travel #uniquetravelexperiences

We have just arrived in Victoria, the largest Island in the Seychelles, far off the coast of Africa. My friends and I want to experience this island paradise like a local, so we are going to immerse ourselves straight into the culture and ask strangers what to do and where to go. And whatever they tell us to do….well…we're gonna do. Stick around to see what happens!! ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/

Within this remote island cluster off the coast of Africa known as the Seychelles, grows a mystical endemic fruit that for centuries has been treated like gold. Today, the fruit or nut known as Coco De Mer is endangered and highly regulated by the government. But still, things like habitat destruction, forest fires, and illegal harvesting pose a threat to this precious fruit. My crew and I are soon to set sail to South Africa, but before we leave we wanted to learn more about Coco De Mer. So we planned an excursion to Fond Ferdinand, a magical nature preserve where much of the Coco de Mer population lives. ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #africa #seychelles #remotetravel

These three, young, adventurous people have never met before. In fact they don’t even know each other exists. And they are about to move onto our boat for the next two months…and…they have no sailing experience whatsoever. So for the next eight weeks, our new crew will immerse themselves into an entirely different world of confined spaces, constant movement, and complicated systems as we sail 3500 nautical miles from The Seychelles to South Africa. Life on the ocean is magical, with a constant connection to mother nature and an ability to see the world like none other. But it comes with its ups and downs…literally (show shot of boat rocking up and down). Our mission with this new crew is not simply to just teach them how to sail. But to give them the opportunity to accomplish something they may have previously thought impossible. And Today, is day 1 of possibly the wildest adventure of their lives… ------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yQtWj1R--f7TCDpzZ5iXg?sub_confirmation=1 ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Gabi: https://www.instagram.com/gabiwaked/ Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/alexoropel/ Follow Berra: https://www.instagram.com/_____berra_____/ #sailing #wildadventure #sailboatlife
