Relive Energy Observer's first steps in South Africa!
Heading to Durban, Energy Observer had to make an unscheduled stopover... in Mozambique! Offshore, 5-meter high waves and force 8 winds threatened our safety. The captain thus decided to take shelter to protect the boat and crew.
After 840 nautical miles, a lot of sun, a few rain squalls, some current with and against us, spectacular skies, technical worries, and a change of route: Energy Observer has arrived in Mayotte!
After 1800 nautical miles sailed from India, our laboratory vessel dropped anchor in the Seychelles archipelago for its 76th stopover.
During long navigations, energy is precious and every kWh counts to allow our crew to reach their destination. Slowing down our average speed is often the best way to save energy and extend our autonomy.
Energy Observer has dropped anchor in Kochi for the 75th stopover of its round-the-world Odyssey.
Our educational exhibition will be open during the 12th edition of the Route du Rhum in Saint-Malo, being powered by GEH2® electro-hydrogen units. A great first!
Energy Observer concludes its tour in South-East Asia in Malaysia, 74th stopover of its Odyssey around the world.
