Offshore Sailing and Cruising with Paul Trammell24 Elo

Olivia Wyatt, Namibia, the Skeleton Coast, and Seven Years of Bliss on a Panda 34

You might remember Olivia Wyatt from two previous episodes. She sails a Robert Perry Panda 34 solo and has been sailing around the world visiting remote places and documenting indigenous people in her instagram posts.

We talk about Namibia and why she loves it, the magical landscape, the wildlife, Walvis Bay, language, clearing in to various countries, a roller-furling problem and how she dealt with it, foul weather in the Indian Ocean, locking the wheel while using the Hydrovane, a spirit that lives in her boat, guiding voices, freediving, nitrogen narcosis, the lemurs of madagascar, sailing solo and when a second person would be ideal, The Golden Globe Race and her alternate plan, the indigenous people of Namibia, a proposition from a chief, the friendliest people, the places she would live if she had to pick from places she has been, modifications and additions she has made to her boat, her Hydrovane, a UFO sighting, alien abductions, finding adventure every day, why she chose to back out of the GGR, seven years of bliss, cold water, and more.
