Sailing to Mauritius Early | Beating the Strong Trade Winds (Part 1) - Ep. 279

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:00:35 +0000

Leaving the Lombok Medana Bay Sailing Community for the Indian Ocean at the end of May 2026!

The southeast trade winds are building. By July they're stronger, and by August they're at their peak. That's why I'm leaving Indonesia early, aiming to sail all the way to Mauritius.

In this first episode I pass Christmas Island without stopping and enjoy a surprisingly calm and peaceful passage across the Indian Ocean.
