The Journal is where our captains and crew write between voyages — route reports from the east coast passage, notes on whale behaviour during the south coast season, and occasional essays on what it means to sail Sri Lankan waters.
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.
Dispatches from the expedition voyages — crossing passages, frontier coastlines and rarely-visited waters.
