Ep 121 - Cape Chaos to Desert Calm | Sailing Through the fog to Namibia

Welcome aboard Sailing Excelsior! In this episode, we finally say goodbye to South Africa and begin our offshore passage from Saldanha Bay to Lüderitz, Namibia — our first stop in a brand-new African country. After weeks of intense and unpredictable sailing along South Africa’s rugged coastline, it’s a relief to head north into the South Atlantic. But just as we settle in, a thick sea fog rolls in, cutting visibility to near zero and forcing us to navigate blind for hours. When the fog finally lifts, the ocean comes alive with unforgettable wildlife sightings: 🐋 Whales | 🦭 Seals | 🐬 Porpoise | 🕊️ Albatross We’re sailing where the desert meets the sea, discovering Namibia’s remote coastline from a perspective few ever see. 🌍 Episode Highlights: Departing Saldanha Bay, South Africa Sailing into unexpected sea fog Wildlife encounters in the open Atlantic First landfall in Namibia and new country vibes.
