About the crew

Namibian born & bred, Jaco and Christelle bought in February 2008 a 20 year old fibreglass 37ft Endurance yacht in Durban, SA.

We sailed from Durban to Namibia in March 2009. October 2009 sailed from Naibia to Brazil with our last two surviving Jack Russels, Corinna and Muddy.

From Brazil to Caribbean, which we have circumnavigated almost twice untill now.
