After 2 & ½ years of work we are in the final stretch of accepting our next sailing vessel for an extended liveaboard journey of sailing.

The Week of 8/6/2024 – arrival in South Africa. Arrival 8/2 with ‘a little’ gear to support launch

Factory visit 8/3 for a factory update on SV Slainte (pronounced slawn-cha). Launch date now 8/15.

Finishing touches are underway for our vacuum infused carbon tender. This light weight and spacious workhorse will be our daily commuter vehicle when close to land.

The South African countryside is a beautiful, kaleidoscope of color this time of year (Canary yellow rapeseed fields, used to make Canola Oil, cover the farms and deliver an amazing contrast against the green ground covers)
