The incredible Seychelles

---

(N) Wow.

This is Disneyland. Impossible to capture in words, so we’ll just post lots of pictures to prove this place exists, and say BIG THANKS to:

1. Captain Kemble, who skilfully negotiated our Catamaran through pirate-infested waters
2. Poseidon, who granted us fresh fish for every day trawling, including approx 5kg of Yellowfin Tuna sashimi one evening
3. The Seychellois turtles, doplhins, fruitbats and stingrays for making such frequent appearances
4. A legendary crew that made the whole experience so great

And last but not least, CONGRATULATIONS to Lauren and Jonty, who got engaged at Source d’Argent, La Digue (the postcard island!)

PS: went on my first salt water dive, encountered two sharks and didn’t freak out! 

(M) Wow indeed.

What a privilege to spend 11 days sailing around what must surely be the most beautiful place on earth. The postcards seriously do not do this place any justice. The islands are also seriously chilled and the people amazingly friendly...

Without a doubt the best snorkling I've ever done, with a pretty spectacular dive thrown into the mix as well. Add to that daily fishing and fresh fish braais on the boat, exquisite mooring spots (a couple of times completely alone), sundowners every day, an amazing group of people and some crazy boat parties and you've got yourself the perfect holiday...

Thanks all, especially Kemble for making it all possible. All that's left to ask is: where next??? And hey, what's up with the dingy?!!!
