The crew of Sail Lanka have worked these waters for years. They know the whale corridors, the reef systems, the anchorages that don't appear on any chart, and the communities in the harbours we work from. Their stories are different from guest stories.
Stories are published throughout the voyage season — field notes, dispatches and accounts from the ocean. Check back, or explore one of the other categories below.
Six other editorial threads — from crew field notes to wildlife records, expedition reports to guest dispatches.
