We’re approaching the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait—one of the most notorious chokepoints in the world and a place sailors don’t take lightly. But just as we prepare to pass through, I’m suddenly below deck battling in the engine room. Instead of calmly approaching the strait, we’re trying to keep the boat running. And as night falls, we learn there is a warship operating in the area that’s aware of our position. Just another day sailing one of the most intense stretches of our voyage.

It took 3 months to sail 10,500 Nautical Miles from Grenada to Dubai...It took much longer to share the entire Voyage on YouTube 😅 about 1 year and 8 months to get it all out there. So luckily, we breezed through the Straight of Hormuz before everything changed. Good luck to the owners of Amelia, Karl and Michele who are now living full time on their epic boat in Dubai. #bumsonaboat#boatlife#sailing#saillife#dubai#straightofhormuz#sailor#voyage#travel
