Sailing the Indian Ocean part 2: Mauritius to Cape Town

Join Sea|mester’s 112ft schooner, STV Vela, in part two as we complete our Indian Ocean crossing! From Mauritius to Cape Town, Vela’s crew traverses some of the most notorious seas in the sailing world, with the students at the helm as we round Cape Aghoulas - the southern most point of Africa - and the Cape of Good Hope to finish in the lively city of Cape Town. Vela’s crew onboard lived through some of the most unique experiences that Sea|mester has to offer: sailing infamous seas, watching elephants play on an African Safari, a student takeover around the Cape of Good Hope, Rugby World Cup Sevens and so much more. Whether you’re curious about sailing across the Indian Ocean, thinking about coming onboard as a gap year or study abroad student, or just love travel and adventure content, this video captures it all.
