Sailing Yacht Zen Again
Australia
Приєднався 11 кві 2020
Hi! We're Nicki and Mike, two Aussies sailing our 34 foot yacht Zen Again around the world.
We sailed from Queensland, Australia in 2011 to Darwin, Northern Territory before sailing to East Timor, Indonesia and Malaysia in 2012.
We then sailed to Fremantle, Western Australia before setting off across the Indian Ocean in 2015 to sail to the UK, visiting Cocos Keeling, Rodrigues, Mauritius, Reunion and South Africa.
In 2016 we left South Africa, sailing to Saint Helena in the South Atlantic ocean before briefly sailing through the eastern Caribbean, Bermuda, the Azores and finally Falmouth in the UK.
In 2021 we left the UK to sail home slowly, visiting Galicia, Mediterranean Spain and Portugal, before crossing the Atlantic and spending a season in the eastern Caribbean. Since then, we have sailed the southern Caribbean to Colombia and Panama, then north to Jamaica and the Bahamas.
Zen Again is now in Chesapeake Bay and we're looking forward to cruising the east coast in 2024.

North Atlantic Crossing Part I : Canaries - Cape Verde | E046
We're sinking! We discovered the leak on Day 3 of our North Atlantic passage, sailing from Gran Canaria to Antigua. The leak required us to divert to the Cape Verde Islands where we repaired the leak whilst in the water. We also explored the vibrant town of Mindelo ahead of resuming our crossing of the North Atlantic Ocean

Welcome to Europ. 💪
Thank you! It’s great to be back 😀
Apparently, no fuss 👍
@@StemtoSternSailing absolutely! We prefer minimum drama 😃 Hope you enjoyed the video!
Very nice video. Shelter Cove beach looks almost Bahamas-like but the water temperature is NOT Bahamas-like. Great scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John!
Always longed for the sea, my ex was a total introvert and wouldnt abide by the idea as it was "boring" but my new parter is starting to see the treasures that can only be found out on the water. Thanks for sharing, i like the no nonsense no drama documentary style of video youve given.
@@SteveBbb-y6d thanks! We’re glad you enjoyed our video. We agree that life aboard is very special!
Great views from the new camera. Looks like some nice cruising grounds. Thanks for sharing. Regards Jarle

@@StemtoSternSailing Thanks Jarle!
Hi vogues, thanks for sharing. Interesting journey and well documented. A pleasure to watch.
@@theovandenberg4682 thanks Theo! Delighted to hear that you enjoyed it
Beautiful job they did ! For ur gps model did u find a sd card for all of the trip and where did u get the sd card?
Hi Marcel, I believe you're referring to cards for chart plotters. At that time we had a small Garmin chartplotter with Garmin BlueCharts on microSD. We also had CM93 charts on OpenCPN. We no longer have a chartplotter, instead using Navionics charts & app on iPads.
Great little episode. Thanks for shearing. Best regards from Jarle
Thanks Jarle!
Great to see you back on the water. Best regards from Jarle
Thanks Jarle! Glad you enjoyed the video
Hi guys!! Great video...Zen looks beautiful and she went back it the water so smoothly, as if she was going where she belongs :).
Thanks Terri! It was great to spend time with you last month x
Exciting to see your new adventures after those thoroughly refits. Have fun and thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed you video and repairs done in Phuket. Am interested in sailing in and around this area in the future.
When u wiill visit again malaysia?
One day, we hope!
Nice ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 🤗! Glad you enjoyed it
Wow. We just arrived in Panama and Steph has tested COVID positive too. Great video Guys! It left us inspired! Happy new year by the way!
Happy New Year guys! Sorry to hear that Steph caught Covid, we hope you're not feeling too ill. Weird that you caught it arriving in Panama like us! I see you also cleared in at Puerto Obaldia, isn't that part of the eastern Guna Yala beautiful? Definitely the best part of Panama in my opinion. We're glad you enjoyed our video and I'm sure you will love your time in Panama. Do be careful though, a panther swam through our anchorage at Isla Piña! We will follow your adventures as you go, have fun!
Nice
Thanks!

Do you have to contact each ports for incoming? I’m still learning
You clear-in at a port of entry of each country then are free to visit other ports. You need a cruising permit in Indonesia (probably still called a CAIT). Then clear-out prior to departure from each country. Sites like noonsite.com describe the procedure for each country.
@@yachtzenagain6877 thanks for the sharing and info
I really did enjoy the footage. Nice feature to have navigation data in historical graphics. Looking forward to the next episode
Thanks! We will be releasing more footage soon
Nice sailing and excursions. What cind of boat are you guys sailing ?
Thanks! It’s a 10.4 metre monohull, built in Japan in the mid 80s.
