Your BEST contact on the Cape of Good Hope cruising route
Welcome to Najo's (Jo & Jan; you get it?!) website!
We live in Cape Town, we dream about adventure and I guess this trip and website are the result. We all DREAM, and yes, they say if you can dream it, you can do it. Well, it is actually true!
So here's the only advise we will give you: 'If you dream of doing something, STOP dreaming, get out, and make it happen.' (It's not even our advise but Sir Chris Bonington’s - thanks).
We left Cape Town in May 2007 and sailed via St Helena and the Azores to Belgium (Jan’s home country). We sailed our beloved Boa Esperanza
in 60 something days to Nieuwpoort, a Belgian coastal town. We unexpectedly had to sell the boat (a very looong story you can read in the diary…) and cycled back to Cape Town via Africa. We recently arrived back in Cape Town. Read more…
You have to start somewhere, so READ this book!
Apologies for the delayed update, it’s not always easy to find internet on the road…!!
The last update saw us in Lilongwe waiting for info for a yacht delivery and whether we would head to Durban via Mozambique or Cape Town via Namibia – the delivery got delayed so we carried on through
We arrived back in Cape Town on the 13th March... 302 days since we left last year. Table Mountain never looked better!
