After 3 grueling days at sea battling 35+ knot winds, 3-4m swells, and engine troubles, we finally neared Thailand's Koh Similan Islands. Welcomed by a stunning sunrise and a breathtaking moonset, we made a much-needed stop to rest, clear an entangled rope from our prop, and regroup before our final push to Langkawi. Armed with updated weather data, we set sail again-facing the looming threat of a thunderstorm. Hugging the Phuket coast, we crossed the iconic Big Buddha statue and took temporary shelter near the southern tip of the island. While the storm hit hard that night, we leaned on the age-old wisdom of local fishermen, who proved right once again. With 24 hours to go, the sea gifted us one last curveball: calm glassy waters with no wind. From violent squalls to perfect stillness, this passage tested every ounce of our seamanship, endurance, and spirit. And no each other. Next week, a new chapter begins as we welcome fresh crew aboard SV Reeva.

In the second part of our passage from Port Blair to Langkawi, things got even more intense. With just three of us onboard SV Reeva, battling 25-30 knot winds, 3-4 meter swells, and a surprise engine failure mid-passage, this leg tested every ounce of seamanship and resilience we've built. As weather conditions worsened, our engine refused to start-fuel wasn't reaching the engine. With the boat rolling 30-40 degrees in high seas, we had to replace fuel filters, clean the mini de-bug system, and troubleshoot under brutal conditions. Meanwhile, Kaeya kept watch, managing sails and tracking wind speeds like a pro. With no real-time weather updates (our Iridium Go was inactive due to a SIM issue), we were relying on 72-hour-old forecasts, adjusting course toward the Similan Islands in Thailand. After three grueling days, we reached the Similan Islands, picked up a mooring, and finally got some much-needed rest. From engine repairs at sea to full moon sailing, this passage was a masterclass in liveaboard life, seamanship, and teamwork.

Our journey back from Port Blair to Langkawi-a 650+ nautical mile passage-was nothing short of intense. As the last sailboat to leave the Andaman Islands before the South West monsoon set in, we were prepared for a challenging sail, but nature had its own plans. Day 1 started smoothly as we cleared out of India, but the weather quickly turned. We were hit by gusty WNW winds touching 25 knots and rolling 3-meter swells. With reefs in our mainsail and staysail, and some hearty Indian food to fuel us (yes, we had momos, roti, and paneer!), we pushed ahead. Kaeya had a magical moment spotting her first pod of dolphins alongside Reeva. Despite all our preparations, the sea threw everything it had at us-strong winds, relentless rolling, and tough sail trimming. The conditions pushed us physically and mentally. Eventually, we had to make a tough call and divert course toward Thailand, hoping for a break from the squalls. But that wasn't the end-Reeva's engine failed at night, adding yet another layer to what became one of our toughest sailing passages yet. This is Part 1 of our passage-a test of seamanship, endurance, and spirit. Stay tuned for Part 2 where things get even more real.

On our final day with DiveIndia, we joined forces with the incredible Kachrewaale_thewastepeople team-led by Anne Philip and supported by Ruth, our DiveIndia instructor-to clean up the Meetha Nallah, one of Havelock's few freshwater streams. It was inspiring to see people from all walks of life come together for a meaningful cause. In just a few hours, we collected over 105 kg of plastic waste! To wrap up an unforgettable week of diving, the DiveIndia team visited Reeva for one last hangout filled with laughter, stories, and promises to meet again-above and below the waterline. With the diving chapter closed, we returned to Port Blair, waiting for a good weather window before the Southwest Monsoons kicked in. As we prepped Reeva for our longest passage yet-an open-ocean crossing of over 600 nautical miles from Port Blair to Langkawi-we took time to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and say our heartfelt goodbyes. One highlight was hosting the Honorable Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands onboard Reeva. His kind words and thoughtful gesture of homemade snacks made our farewell even more memorable. As the last sailboat to leave Port Blair this season, we stocked up on all our favorite Indian food and supplies. With winds gusting over 20 knots, we set sail as a family once again-grateful, hopeful, and ready for the next chapter at sea.

This week aboard SV Reeva, our sailing journey takes a new turn-as we go from sailors to certified divers! We wrap up our Open Water Diver and Advanced Adventurer certifications with DiveIndia @diveindiaandamans7933 SSI India, diving deep into the vibrant reefs of Havelock Island. In our final Open Water dives, we came face to face with incredible marine life: Blue-spotted stingrays, two curious octopuses, lionfish, and a graceful moray eel. Each dive opened our eyes to the magic of the underwater world. During the Advanced Adventurer course, we took on five thrilling specialties: Night diving (an unforgettable experience!) Perfect buoyancy Navigation Fish ID Underwater photography One unforgettable moment came when our boat captain Joel spotted an Olive Ridley turtle trapped in a net. In a heartwarming rescue, our dive instructor Vijay, diver Akhil Gogo, and Kaeya leapt in to set the turtle free-watching it swim away was a memory we'll treasure forever. After 6 days and 10 dives, we're now SSI Advanced Adventurer divers, and we're so grateful for this new skill and experience.

In this week's episode aboard SV Reeva, we spend a few incredible days anchored between Peel Island and John Lawrence Island, seeking shelter from unfavorable weather north of Havelock. This spot is known for its natural beauty-and crocodiles! We spotted two crocs, making it clear that the Andaman crocodile scare is very real-so, no more swimming here! As we entered Haddo Anchorage, a surprise squall greeted us. But we made the most of the downpour, giving Reeva and ourselves a much-needed freshwater rinse to wash off all the salt. It was time for Arnav's final engine routine before signing off. We topped up the oil on our Yanmar 55hp engine, which had clocked just 86 hours in 2.5 months-a pretty efficient run for Reeva! Back in Port Blair, we celebrated Holi, caught up with friends, and were deeply touched to meet several followers of The Reeva Project-what a joy to connect in person! A highlight of the week was hosting 14 young Sea Cadets from the Sea Cadet Corps who sailed over in their Lasers and Optimists. Their enthusiasm and energy were absolutely infectious, making it a truly memorable morning. We also welcome Kaeya back onboard-super excited to sail together again!

In Part 2 of our Andaman Islands sailing adventure, we snorkel at Pearl Beach off South Ruthland, where we spotted turtle tracks on the sand and Gaurav had a rare underwater encounter with an adult grey nurse shark! We then sailed south to the stunning Cinque Islands, anchoring between North and South Cinque. These remote islands are known for their crystal-clear waters and thriving coral life-though our videos can't fully capture the underwater magic, the snorkeling here was truly unforgettable. After 3 magical days, we began our 50NM upwind sail north to Radhanagar Beach. Despite a 25-degree heel, we managed to make fresh water and check off some boat chores en route. We arrived just in time for a breathtaking Radhanagar sunset. The following day, we headed into town to enjoy some delicious Indian food, but didn't film this part-let us know in the comments if you'd like us to include more local life and shore footage in upcoming videos! As the anchorage at Radhanagar got too rolly with an incoming weather warning, we moved between Peel Island and John Lawrence Island, part of the Marine National Park. We wrapped up this leg with a special celebration for Gaurav's birthday! ? Arnav gifted him with a freshly repaired winch, ? Our friend Mark donated 500L of fresh water (as our Spectra watermaker is now due for a membrane replacement), ? And I baked him a cake right here onboard SV Reeva! :) It was the perfect liveaboard celebration. Subscribe and stay tuned for next week's video-there's more beauty & adventure coming your way!

With just a month before the Southwest Monsoon sets in over the Bay of Bengal, we're making the most of our time in the Andaman Islands-sailing, exploring, and soaking in the beauty of this untouched paradise. This episode marks a new chapter as Arnav joins us on board for his internship as part of his BE Marine Engineering course. Before setting sail, we stocked up on provisions (with all the goodies for our Indian taste buds!) and tanked up on diesel for the journey ahead. ? Our Journey in This Episode: ? Chirya Tappu: Our first stop, famous for its stunning sunsets and rich wildlife. This lush, scenic spot is home to mangroves, tropical forests, and diverse marine life. We enjoyed crunchy pakoras onshore and even spotted sea turtles swimming nearby! ?? ? Making fresh water on board! Thanks to our Spectra watermaker, we stayed self-sufficient at sea. ? Ruthland Island: Here, we explored the mangroves by dinghy, but with a strict no-swimming rule due to crocodile warnings! ? ? Noticing the difference in landscapes-Andaman's hard rock formations and dense greenery contrast sharply with Thailand & Malaysia's limestone cliffs. ? Respect for the local fishermen-sailing the seas in basic wooden boats, with no GPS, minimal communication, and just one engine. These seafarers brave the ocean daily for their livelihood. ?

After an incredible passage from Thailand, we finally arrived at Port Blair's Haddo Anchorage! A hectic sail finishes with a warm welcome from the Port Control, and followed by an Ice Cream Gala onboard. The next day, we started the check-in process, which involved checks by Immigration, Coast Guard, Harbour Master, and Customs-a lengthy but smooth process, thanks to the coordination by our agents at Andaman Holidays. A special shoutout to Karan and Rohan, our agent's representatives, who ensured everything was in order and helped us breeze through the paperwork. ? What's in this episode? ?

Bluewater sailing is never predictable! After completing urgent mainsail repairs in Thailand, we set sail towards Port Blair, Andaman Islands. The first day was smooth, but the second morning hit us with heavy rain, dark clouds, and winds gusting 20-25 knots! For 6-7 hours, we navigated through rough seas, testing our skills and patience. But that's the beauty of offshore sailing-after every storm comes calm waters. As soon as the clouds cleared, the winds settled, and we had an incredible open-ocean passage all the way to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. ?

Our smooth passage took a detour near Surin Island when we discovered a tear in our mainsail mid-journey. With no choice but to stop, we anchored for urgent repairs. While we were there, Payal went up the mast to fix our deck lights and replace the anchor light. After two days of hard work, we're finally back on course towards Port Blair, Andaman Islands.
