Intercepted by a WARSHIP! Sailing Thailand to Sri Lanka | S5 E01

Season 5 begins! After months of preparation, we’re finally turning west and starting our Indian Ocean adventure. Our first passage is a big one — 1,100 nautical miles from Thailand to Sri Lanka, our first multi-day sail in over a year. The ocean gave us gentle winds, rolling blue swells, and time to fall back into the rhythm of night watches… until things got interesting. As we approached the Andaman Islands and prepared to transit the Sombrero Channel, we were intercepted and hailed by an Indian warship over VHF. From calm seas to heart-rate rising moments, and then onwards toward the vibrant coastline of Sri Lanka, this passage is the beginning of something huge — a brand new season of adventure, challenge, and discovery. Come aboard. Season 5 starts now. 🌏⛵ 🌊 Join Our Sailing Family Adventure! We’re the Fothergills – a family of six living full-time aboard our catamaran, Happy Days.
