ABANDONED | Luxury town Lost to the Desert | Sailing Namibia Ep.131

Sailing into Namibia at dawn with the sun rising above the sand dunes was magical. Just inland we found an abandoned town in the desert. The height of luxury in its day, it is now being reclaimed by the sand. Join us as we explore. We have been sailing around the world for 6 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.
