    Thank you yet again for introducing me to a part of this amazing world I never would have known otherwise. Especially appreciate the honest portrayal of good/bad sides of what on the surface appears to be paradise. Such an enriching adventure makes all of us now relegated to virtual travel very envious.

      Ha ha did you watch this with the Sonrisas? comments 1 minute apart?!? Unfortunately it is impossible to visit everywhere in one season, but you can places to the list for the 2nd lap ;-) (Tanzania is one of those places for us)

      @@SailingYachtFlorence Haha, no, we watched it eating a breakfast sausage sarnie with HP sauce in bed dealing with our hangovers (A Florence video and comfort food...bliss!)
      And last time I checked, there were definitely no Sonrisa's under the covers 🤣
      Just coincidental timing!

    Matt and Amy, you truly are head and shoulders above all the other sailing channels. Thank you for being true blue sailors, actually sailing around the world and taking me along. I have watched all your episodes from the beginning and am now very excited because you are about to visit my country, South Africa. I live in Johannesburg but have been travelling into the African bush for twenty years in my 4x4. I am excited to see footage about South Africa and to hear your thoughts about a country that has been through an enormous amount of corruption (in excess of R1 trillion) mainly by the ANC government in the past decade, but still somehow manages to retain a charm and allure that keeps my wife and I here. There is a huge diaspora out of the country by middle class professionals - around 90,000 people a year - and that includes my two children. For all that, it is a beautiful country with many amazing people. I hope you enjoy a wonderful time here with us.

    The drone footage is excellent. We look forward to your next video. Stay safe and good luck with the passage to South Africa.
