Yemen. Socotra- the most alien-looking place on the planet / Sailing Aquarius #131

After our most terrifying passage we arrived to a the most alien-looking place on Earth - Socotra. So different from whatever we have seen so far during our travels. I can’t describe this, therefore you HAVE TO WATCH.

And thanks so much for watching 🙏
Stay tuned as next Friday 12PM EST we release a new video 🎥

I am from Socotra Island. I came during the windy season there. It's good starting in October. She is very sweet and calm.

These children were not "little savages" just children full of joy and hapiness.

أنا يمني ولكن لم أزور هذه الجزيره الرائعه أشكرك جزيلاً لنشر السياحه في بلدي

Just watched this episode - we dropped anchor in the same anchorage in July from Kenya after awful storms and losing our steering gear when we rounded that dreadful eastern bend. We stayed for a week to try to fix the boat and did some exploring as we waited for a flight home back to our jobs. we had to leave her there for another two months as there’s zero resources to fix the boat (and monsoon in full swing). The island and people are charming but it gets exhausting! We flew back in September with parts and tools to sail to Salalah, Oman but not after loads of headache and hassle - we were SO glad to leave too!! Thanks for sharing your perspective. Fair winds!

Much more interesting that Zatara's brief mention, thanks for going more in depth.

I love you guys! The quiet confidence, the subtle irony. The way you both handled that crossing, where others might well have been sh**ing themselves was just awesome. So glad Cap'n Ken recovered ok. Great sailing, great videos put together by a lovely, lovely couple. I wish you fair winds and all the very best. God speed!

[timtrinkaus]

Wow!! That was a crazy adventure you two stay safe out there!! That island was beautiful in its own way but I would have not felt too comfortable there. I’m glad you guys got in and out of there safety given the weather and bureaucratic challenges! I hope the weather gets better and you have smoother sailing in the future!

[nanubhana]

You'll are just amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[joecucch]

That Island looked like total desolation.

[rainerschlappkohl]

I admire your fearlessness. I would never have stoped in Yemen. Good luck for your further adventures.

[gransol]

Initially, your trips, destinations and videos in general were rather main stream. Sometimes even superfluous. Or at least this is what it seemed to me! As your channel and episodes evolve, destinations are becoming more and more interesting, attractive and misterious. Keep it this way!

great footage and experience
really looking to the next coming one.
Stay Safe
