Racing, Repairs & Ready to Sail: Our Last Weeks in Mauritius!

Racing, Repairs & Ready to Sail: Our Last Week in Mauritius! Get ready to dive into real boat life as our sailing family spends our final weeks in beautiful Mauritius preparing our Leopard catamaran for one of the most intimidating passages in the Indian Ocean—the powerful Agulhas Current beneath Madagascar on our route to South Africa. Rob finally gets to test out his Christmas present while giving the hull a much-needed clean, and we tackle an important upgrade: installing our new Garmin GPS puck to keep us on course for the adventure ahead. But it’s not all boat work—we make time for some unforgettable island fun! Join us as we explore the incredible Odyseeo Aquarium and feel the rush at the historic Champ de Mars Horse Race. From last-minute preparations to unforgettable experiences, this episode captures the magic, chaos, and excitement of life afloat. Come aboard! We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world. After planning and saving for the past 6 years, we are now embracing our dream of sailing around the world on our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran. Follow our journey as we Circumnavigate the Globe in 3-4 years on a budget of $4,800/month (food, communication, fuel, insurance, transportation, mooring/marina & fun). We left the USA in October 2023 and plan to visit 26 countries on 5 different continents all while worldschooling a budding teen in our off grid tiny house. 🏆 Looking for boating spreadsheets, inside info or wanna help keep the dream alive?
