One kilometre???? Rachel definitely showing her professional athleticism (yeah, i had to look that word up) to swim that far! Even Finn tagging aling is a major physical achievement !! Its pretty cool the young fullas are joining in with the locals playing sports at every opportunity too. Great cross cultural interactions 🇳🇿🤙🏽

I think you're right and we try to respect the culture of the places we visit. We may not always agree with the polotics of a place, but we play by their rules while we are visitors in their space. Rachel was mindful to always have her shoulders and knees covered while in town. Not necessary if your staying in a fancy resort but essential if visiting the inhabited islands.

Fair winds and safe sailing to the Seychelles.👨🏼‍🔧👩🏼‍💻🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🐈

Congrats on the raising funds! Hope you reach the goal on time, its sooo close!! Congrats also for the vlog, well explained the dsngers you are facing... Hope everything is OK👌🙏🙏 Well edited. I do remember the first time the Jevelot went off control... wow, that was a huge effort swiming all the way to get it. Poor Mocha, probably the scariest time for her, seeing the Javelot going adrift without any of you... Lesson learned, Captain!! Like always in life, you never stop learning. (Its great how you take these incidents with humor after, haha... Couldn't help laughing at the image on Mocha behind the wheel saying goodby haha). Thanks God you went back on time!! Also, greqt job Rob, for bringing back the kayak!! You have to do something, for it has a tendency to go away to often!! 😂 About the people, nice to see how they treat you, helping and giving you food for the journey (that's because the KBoys truly make good friends where ever they go, seeing how they are).

SE Asia and Maldives are incredibly safe places to leave a dinghy tied up, to the back of the boat, day or night. As we continue west this is not the case. Going forward the dinghy will be pulled up each night.

Rachel. Your credit card but their culture. A man interacting with a woman who is not his wife or daughter must deal with the man of that woman. It is a sign of respect. It is also a sign of the class division between men and women in their culture. Surely you know this?
