Chasing Waves Around the World
In this episode of SeaPeople Live, Logan sits down with Camille and Jesse from Stella Overboard, two surfers who turned a childhood dream of owning a sailboat into a way to search for waves around the world.
Today, they're aboard their Sun Odyssey 39, Stella, sailing through remote Indonesia. For the past six months, much of their life has revolved around one mission: follow the swell and see what they can find.
Watch the full conversation:
They Bought a Boat to Find Waves
For Jesse, surfing was always the first passion.
The dream was to eventually combine it with another: owning a sailboat and using it to explore places that were difficult to reach from land.
Then he met Camille.
The two met at a backpacker hostel in Australia, traveled together in a tiny van and eventually started talking seriously about buying a boat. Camille initially thought they needed lessons and years of sailing experience first. Jesse's philosophy was simpler: buy one and figure it out.
And that's essentially what they did.
In this episode they talk about:
๐ How to afford the sailing lifestyle
๐ Buying a sailboat in Southeast Asia
๐ Remote sailing and surf safety
๐ Crocodiles, sea snakes & reef anchorages
๐ Boat maintenance far from civilization
๐ The people and communities of remote Indonesia
๐ Why you shouldn't wait forever to chase the dream
