The Part of Namibia Only SAILORS Get to See

In this episode, the crew and I journey to one of the world’s most unique and mysterious countries — Namibia. Our last adventure saw us sailing out of Cape Town, braving our first multi-day voyage and battling fierce 40-knot winds as we arrived at the remote Port of Lüderitz. But our story actually begins before that — when Doc and I connected with Giel du Toit, a local sailor renowned for his sustainability work and his impact on Lüderitz’s sailing scene. Giel offered to be our guide, taking us beyond the coastline to uncover some of Namibia’s most breathtaking and forgotten places. Together, we’ll explore a long-abandoned diamond mining town lost to the sands of time, track down rare and exotic wildlife, and set sail once more — this time to a surreal stretch of coastline where the desert collides with the Atlantic Ocean: the legendary Skeleton Coast. ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/sailingrippleeffect ------------------------------------------ Watch Season 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CA-bu-rW0&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWBzU9d-_qLVRnQsaDb5D-ft Watch Season 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB90uELXV8&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWA-ObNyQan-3_XqLKsgJFmW Watch Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVCzMdoWBA&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDtf6jfHdIgHPL7oGtAWMt3 Watch Season 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaTfAmnuMs&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDK2c2YW8rr55wjvf74934g Watch Season 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-1Jkl4rCMY&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDu_xLN0JFnx-YX5lSgzXq3&index=1&t=57s Watch Season 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IrEwJVnHI&list=PLEz8PmTM4lWDG7tstlqR3O1M2fkQQT8-A Watch Season 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsvIT8jNl8&t=131s Watch Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7prknxHOA Watch Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1OuEPXG-w ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/mararipple/ Follow Doc: https://www.instagram.com/docgastone/ Follow Jorge: https://www.instagram.com/jorge_andres_valdivieso/ Follow Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/nicolexgoetz/ Follow Xenia: https://www.instagram.com/xenia_lieb/ #namibia #skeletoncoast #sailingafrica
