Sailing the African Coast – Dodging Storms…Zanzibar and Southward
Sailboat Brick House Prepares for a long, stormy passage down the coast of Africa, starting in Zanzibar. This is just the very beginning of the trip, and perhaps a harbinger for things to come? We arrive in Dar Es Salaam planning to spend several weeks, maybe even a month, enjoying ourselves in Tanzania, and getting the boat ready; provisioning, and fueling up for the long 1700 mile trip ahead of us to South Africa. Then we get some weather information and everything changes quickly!

Hello Africa! Sailing through a Southern Buster from Mayotte to Tanzania
Zanzibar Marina, Tanzania, East Africa – A month at the new marina!
I believe that all your videos are good as well as important to the average sailor or those who are contemplating cruising off shore or even protective waters. Keep up the good works and stay safe.

Thanks for that nice compliment Garry and Carol! Saw the book comment too..can not wait to see it!
Always enjoy your videos. You have great ideas about cruising. No one talks about testing for water quality! Great idea! Stressing safety is also important (as you do) too many YouTube bloggers are running around the deck with out harnesses or jacklines. We plan on having both with the AIS MOB device that is available today.
Hope you don’t get beat up going around the tip of Africa! Would like to meet up with you in the Carib. Keep up the great work!
