Leaving Africa Behind | 11 Days Across the Atlantic | S6 E01

Season 6 starts here! 🌊⛵ After an incredible season in South Africa, it’s time to point Happy Days west and head out into the South Atlantic. Our next stop: the tiny, remote island of St Helena — 1,650 nautical miles and 11 days at sea. And this passage gives us a little bit of everything… a foggy farewell to South Africa, beautiful downwind sailing under Big Purple (Miss Violet), fishing gear that quite literally explodes, fresh food that all seems to ripen at once, school, work, boat jobs and all the everyday chaos of six people living together at sea. Somewhere along the way, the days begin to blur and passage life simply becomes normal. Then, after 11 days with nothing but ocean around us, a seriously impressive rock finally begins to emerge through the clouds. Land Ho — St Helena!
