15-year ceruising anniversary
Today marks 15 years since we set off from Kusadasi in Turkey on our world circumnavigation voyage. After we left the marina, we set sails and brought SuAn onto a western course. Our first leg took us to Pholegandros in Greece. Back then, we never could imagine that today, 15 years later with more than 84,000 nautical miles and a world circumnavigation under our keel, we would still be at sea on the oceans of the world. SuAn has become our home and we continue to enjoy our "Blue Togetherness" and we still are eagerly awaiting what lies beyond the horizon. With a glass of sparkling wine we toast to our wonderful time we spend together on board of SuAn during the last 15 years.

Stranded in Mayotte
In our initial attempt to sail from Mayotte to South Africa, we had covered only 80 nautical miles when our reliable engine, Yanmar San, suddenly failed us. Despite attempting all the usual revival measures, including changing filters and checking all systems, we couldn't resolve the issue. With heavy hearts, we turned back and sailed to return to Mayotte.
Upon a thorough investigation, we discovered that the root cause of our problem is a malfunctioning fuel injection pump. Fixing this issue is not a simple task and will require some time. SuAn is moored at a buoy in front of the Dzaoudzi Yacht Club, and we must acknowledge that, for now, we find ourselves stranded.
