The Stoner’s Paradise | My High Times With Rasta Babs | Welcome To The Gambia Mon | S8E07

Welcome to The Gambia—the small sliver of a country carved by colonizers but defined by its incredibly chilled vibe. In this episode, we link up with a local legend, Rasta Babs (Babacar), to explore the authentic side of this West African gem. No AI-generated travel guides here; just real experiences, river adventures, and the true "Rasta thing."Join us as we scout the perfect anchorage for my boat, Galopin, to ride out the rainy season. From sailing up the river past crocs and hippos to navigating the crooked, full-moon streets that might just make you question if you’re high, this trip is a journey into the local culture. Babs isn’t just a guide; he’s revered. Whether it’s getting VIP treatment at local spots or smoothly talking our way through frequent police and military checkpoints, there’s a lot to learn from his approach to life.When bus tickets sell out and we get stuck for another night, Babs turns it into a celebration with Jack, Coke, and good company. We tour his neighborhood, meet his wife Marie, and discover that in The Gambia, stress simply isn’t an option. 00:00 Intro 00: 23 Ridin' with Rasta 01:19 Best driver 02:09 High tide wet feet 04:01 Coming back 04:37 Africa's car 04:50 Beach front paradise 05:46 Stuck in paradise 06:43 Gambian Rasta ride 09:26 Next week Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube!
