Ocean Swells, Fishermen & Into The River's Mouth | A Dolphin Guided African River Ascent | S7 Epsd18

Imagine leaving the vast, ferocious ocean behind, after dealing with torn sails, broken autopilot and dodging local fishermen all night long. To then enter a major river with sand banks and unseen currents. This is what happens when Galopin, my sailing vessel designed for the open sea dares to challenge the heart of The Casamance River in Senegal, West Africa. See where Sailor Alex and Japanese crew member Asahi finally drop anchor in unsettling waters. Join us as Galopin goes on an unprecedented ascent, where boat and crew are met with the most surprising of welcoming hosts. A pod of dolphins who guide us upriver for hours to a most stunning location where they tell us to drop anchor for the night. This is sailing Africa!
