Biking through Mersing
2 februari 2019, Maleisië ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
I had the pleasure of riding for a couple days with PG from Sweden 🇸🇪. He’s cycled from there over the past year and plans to cycle right around the world. He’s 65 and carrying 50kg of weight with him but was setting a fast pace for us. He’s raising money for endangered orangutans at theglobalcycling.com. I left him yesterday and have made it back to Johor Bharu. Big hot day 🚴🏼‍♂️- 160km.

Biking North in Thailand
4 juni 2019, Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
It’s nice to have almost empty roads here in Thailand 🇹🇭 but it always makes me question if the pavement is really necessary... 🚲- 60km. #jonimitchell #theypavedparadise

Sailing to Koh Samui
27 juni 2019, Gulf of Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
t was a 190 nautical mile direct route from Hua Hin to Koh Samui that would take about two days. With some unfavourable and stronger winds we doubled that and it took 5 days. Some boats sail into the wind (close-hauled) better than others. SV Margarita is a very sea worthy 32 feet. .Meer informatie

Biking across Thailand/Myanmar border
24 juli 2019, Myanmar ⋅ 🌧 25 °C
Today was a super tough day with two seemingly endless climbs. I’m now in Mae Sot at the border with Myanmar 🇲🇲/Burma. 🚴🏼‍♂️- 82 km with long ups.

Biking through Yangon, Myanmar
5 augustus 2019, Myanmar ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
I should probably wear this mask all of the time. I breath in black clouds of exhaust every day when I’m cycling. This is the main reason I spent so much time and effort to get to the sailboat on Borneo. I’m in Yangon now after two crappy highway days. 🚴🏼‍♂️ - 100km + 70km. .Meer informatie

Bike taxi in Yangon
21 augustus 2019, Myanmar ⋅ 🌧 27 °C
I left Yangon three days ago but not before going for a few short rides around town on these. I rarely have the pleasure of getting a ride anywhere. Yangon is a bizarre city for many reasons, especially because motorcycles are banned. It means the traffic is horrible unless you own a bicycle 😊. Thankfully these sweet bike taxis are still allowed to cruise their neighbourhoods. I’ve since 🚴🏼‍♂️ - 82km + 87km + 52km.Meer informatie

Biking dirt roads in Myanmar
9 september 2019, Myanmar ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
Two days and ~ 200km 🚴🏼‍♂️ on roads like this and worse. A big bonus was that I didn’t breath in any exhaust or have any near death experiences.

Biking to Darjeeling
10 november 2019, Indië ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
I used to serve Darjeeling tea at the Lake Agnes Teahouse up the mountain from Lake Louise in Banff National Park. It was a few thousand meter brief detour to come here.
I'm loving the cool air.

Biking through Nepal
19 november 2019, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
I recently told someone that the world appears to be getting larger, not smaller. Then I find out that my friend Tanya from my small town of 2500 happens to be just down the road from me! World shrunk. Hugs to Tofino!

Biking past Rishikesh
3 maart 2020, Indië ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
broken seat.
2 broken bike racks.
3 is the magic number.
4 Rhinos.
5 broken spokes.
14 days.
1000km by 🚲 from Pokahara, Nepal to Rishikesh, India.
Too many near death experiences to count.

4 years, 234 days.
~40,000km without using motorized transport.
Never ever.

I'm happy to be off the roads and bathing in the Ganges. Cleansing my body and spirit from the dirty, loud, and dangerous journey.

Biking to Gujarat, India
18 oktober 2020, Indië ⋅ 🌧 32 °C
Sometimes I can't cycle ten minutes without being asked to stop for a selfie. It gets tiring but I almost always stop.
Yesterday somebody stopped me and didn't ask for a selfie. He just seemed curious. We exchanged a few words with my very limited hindi and before he left he pulled out his wallet and gave me 100 Rupees. Enough for a meal. I think I'm starting to look and smell a bit rough 😅.

Bike repair in Kerala
14 december 2020, Indië ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Flats are better at the beach ⛱.

I had a super tiny piece of metal stuck in my tire that would puncture a tiny hole that would take over 8 hours for me to notice air loss. I couldn't find it for days! Too many flats and I finally did a deep inspection and removed it with tweezers.

New sailboat acquired!

Meet SV Sundowner.
She's a 1978 Trapper 500 that was sailed here to India from England by a 20 yr old Aussie lad.
I'll be sailing her out of here towards the Seychelles ASAP.
For more info and details please consider joining the Routes Crew on Patreon. I could really use the support to help keep this boat afloat! Link in Bio 👆.

40 days solo on Indian Ocean
30 mei 2021, Arabian Sea ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
We are but specks of dust on this planet Ocean. Spectacularly insignificant and yet all important in the same breath.
I changed a lot in 40 days, and so have we all. I like to believe I can have a little bit of control in the way I change, it empowers me to be true to whoever I am in that brief moment of time.
This is Samudra, which means Ocean in Sanskrit. She is a 1978 Trapper 500. Did I mention I love you! 😊Meer informatie

Arriving at Seychells Mahe Island
14 juni 2021, Indian Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
I look a bit more rough in this photo as I just woke up after my first full nights sleep in 40 days since I left Cochin, India. I shared the Victoria, Seychelles quarantine anchorage with a boat full of filipino fishermen. I suspected they might not have been rewarded the privilege of going to land like I did later this morning.Meer informatie

Arriving in Zanzibar
26 september 2021, Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
I highly doubt that a Trapper 500 (or c&c 27) has ever sailed in Zanzibar waters before this. We had a beautiful day sail and thankfully our friends were in the anchorage to film us coming in. Thank you @sailingsteelsapphire !!!Meer informatie

Sailing to Dar Es Salaam
7 november 2021, Mozambique ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
For a week we have been day sailing our way south down the coast of Tanzania from Dar Es Salaam. We were repeatedly warned about how hard this would be with a counter current and likely unfavorable winds. Thankfully the current has been a non-issue and the winds have beamed us along! It still calls for vigilant sailing as we are always dodging reefs, sand bars, and fishing nets. There have been other issues but I will share those later. 🤪⛵🪨💪Meer informatie

Departing Hout Harbour
10 april 2022, Zuid-Afrika ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Second attempt out of Hout Bay to Cape Town was a success. Leaving the dock was a bit dicey and We almost hit my new crew’s boat but we made it out without a bump. The infamous Frenchman Jack from Ty Baloo joined me and almost convinced me to put up the spinnaker just before it gusted to 25kts 😁. We managed to tack our way through the container ship harbour of Cape Town to the entrance of the Royal Cape Yacht Club but after several attempts to get in the narrow entrance I decided to tie up to the emergency buoy. I swam the final 50m while Jack motored Samudra past a couple brand new $400k catamarans into our slip. I expect to sail from here in a little over a week. Huge thanks to @sailingyachtflorence for the pics. More to come from them.Meer informatie

Cape Town to Jamestown, St. Helena
23 mei 2022, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
14.5 days and ~1700NM from Cape Town, South Africa to Jamestown, St. Helena.
I lost wind as soon as I left the dock at the RCYC and tacked my way 20+ times out of the container ship port. I then slowly drifted close to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
The wind eventually picked up later that day and blew strong for most of the passage. 20+ knots of wind and 3m seas were the average conditions.
After 4 days of sporting full foul weather gear the water and air began to warm up and I started work on my tan.
I spotted a few whales close to Cape Town and a pod of dolphins greeted me at St. Helena but that was about it. Some flying fish and squid hitting the deck was the extent of my fishing luck.
Surprisingly few birds also. Some terns, boobies, and tropic birds.
Samudra handled the winds and swell well with no major issues but I did have a long list of things to do upon arrival.
I had a 3 day wait for health clearance which was perfect to get the to do list finished.
Internet has been difficult here but the island has been spectacular.
More to come soon.
I apologize if you were worried.
Salut.Meer informatie
