Here is the full recording of the conversation we had with Andries/Eiitango Jetango, we had to edit it a bit because the Lüderitz episode of our podcast was getting to long. So here, as a bonus, the full, unedited conversation.

This episode of our Tropical Dawn podcast is about the town of Lüderitz in Namibia we sailed to in our little boat, our adventures there and some of the people we met there, including a recording of part of the conversation we had with Andries/Eiitango Jetango. We edited the recording of our conversation because this episode is already quite long but we'll upload the whole recording here as a bonus to the podcast episode. According to Wikipedia Lüderitz population in 2011 was 12,537 people, so indeed a small town.The languages Eiitango Jetango mentions are his mother tongue Oshiwambo and his favourite language Khoekhoegowab which are two of the official languages of Namibia.News article about the Khoi and San activists in South Africa I mentioned briefly.The book Eiitango Jetango talks about but cannot exactly remember the title of is The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois.And the other one he mentions is The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.Content warning around 1 hours 13 minutes and 50 seconds some gruesome history, skip to 1h15m40s if this could trigger you, to avoid having to hear this, we’ve inserted a content warning in the recording so you you know where to skip forward. On the other hand, if you do want to know more about this part of Luderitz history, here’s a link to the Wikipedia article.

In the first episode we talked about how we got started with cruising and how we got to the point where we felt ready to set off on our first serious passage, which is where this episode picks up. Some terminology we use in this episode: boom and kicker, click on the links to know what those mean. We also mentioned the posts Kay has written which you can find here: https://dhuyvetter.eu/author/kay/

Just a teaser/intro/trailer for our second episode which will be about passages and us trying to get from Cape Town to St Helena.

Introducing ourselves and our podcast: we are Kay & Dimi and we are sailing on a 31 foot (9.3 meter) boat from Cape Town, South Africa to wherever the wind will cay us.

In our first episode we share with you how we got started with sailing, bought our first (and second) sailboat and got ready to take her across the ocean. Some practical info as well as insights we gathered that helped us get to where we are now, which is actually sailing our own yacht on the ocean. Mentioned in this episode: Bernard Moitessier, Joshua Slocum, full keel versus fin keel. If you want to get in touch with us: contact form.
