Planning My Route from Mauritius to South Africa: Solo Sailing the Indian Ocean - Ep. 290

In this episode, I take you through my passage planning for the journey I’m about to make. I show you the route I have chosen from Mauritius towards RichardsBay, South Africa, and explain the decisions behind it — looking at the different weather systems, wind, currents, timing and the conditions I can expect along the way. This is an in-depth look at how I plan a long ocean passage as a solo sailor aboard my 27-foot Grinde. South Africa is one of the most challenging parts of my journey around the world, so choosing the right route and the right weather window is crucial. The passage is still ahead of me. This is the planning that happens before I leave. 💙 Love my videos?
