What this video covers

The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe plans to sail from Phuket, Thailand, across the Indian Ocean to Richards Bay, South Africa, during 2024.1:56 After upgrading the vessel’s electrical system and preparing for off-grid living, the crew intends to replace the standing rigging before departing in late March or April.1:44 The planned route avoids the Red Sea and the East African coast, opting instead for a southern passage that includes stops in the Mentawai Islands, Mauritius, Reunion, and the northern tip of Madagascar.4:59 This route allows for continued island hopping and access to French territories, which simplifies pet entry requirements for their dog, Marley.11:35 The crew intends to navigate the Mozambique Channel by timing their departure from Madagascar to avoid cyclone season and the dangerous sea states caused by the Agulhas Current colliding with low-pressure systems.13:03 They expect the 2,700-mile passage from the Mentawai Islands to Reunion to take approximately 20 days.11:24
