- A beautiful, easy sail from Langebaan to Saldanha in our Tosca 36. We are sailing the west coast of South Africa and have been enjoying exploring and getting to know the area better. August and September is flower season on the West Coast and our timing is perfect could not have been better. Nichelle encounters one of the most dangerous snakes in South Africa on her solo flower watching mission. Come along for another view into our lives as liveaboards.

Thanks for sharing this video. I just had to laugh at Christos hat and you with the snake oooo my hat, i laughed really loud. Flowers are amazing. Stay safe and fair winds. 👍🤣🍺
His hat! As long as you do not laugh at his sunhat (I am trying to keep his skin out of the sun whenever we can) ... Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed sailing with you ;)
Ah, thanks Rebecca xx
Looks amazing guys! this video just made my day! So jealous :))
Thanks Stiaan!
I live in Langebaan (Gauteng expat) and September, although the flowers are absolutely stunning, is quite windy and rainy. It's winter here. Enjoyed your video very much. You should come this way again when it's warmer and have lunch/dinner/breakfast at the seaside taverns, walk along the stunning beaches, and meet the amazing friendly people in the West Coast. @langies_forever!
Thank you Sanet - we did go back and spent almost a year in the area. The West Coast summers are stunning for sure! Enjoy your beautiful area. It is a special place. Nichelle

@@blueoceansailingexpedition4863 Thank you so much for the offer! Will definitely do that. PS. your words still keep ringing in my head - very true ("you may only pass this way once")
Kia ora folks,
Looks like you are having heaps of fun .
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
God speed and fair weather,

Thanks Dave. Keeping the waves under the hull is better than squeaky marina mooring lines for sure. Thanks for watching
Mate, one thing I have to comment on is that the wind will not be able to blow the swell flat.
Hi Jan-Hendrik, Christo here.
Have a look at this article:

I must add that the reduction in swell I was referring to could also be attributed to dissipated swell energy after a passing weather system, of which a change of wind direction would have been a symptom. The degree of swell reduction due to spent energy or opposing wind is something best debated over a beer. I’m no expert and always keen to learn.
Bri and I are sooooo excited to see another video from you guys! ow, stunning flowers and so glad you escaped the boomslang. Take care guys! We love you :)
Aaw thank you Margs and Bri xxx
