Join the Adventure

Join us as we document a thrilling circumnavigation of Tropical Island

Sri Lanka aboard 'Yet to be named" MacGregor 26M sailboat.  We’re here to share our journey and inspire others to explore the clear blue waters along  1500 Kilometers of wonderous Tropical Coastline.

This section is designed as a practical resource hub for a wide range of ocean users, including cruising sailors, surfers, divers, marine habitat students and researchers, environmental and Clean Sri Lanka initiatives, tourists, wetland bird watchers, deep-sea leisure fishermen, kayakers, and recreational boaters. It also serves those closely following Indian Ocean weather patterns and coastal conditions. Through structured sections such as Weather & Monsoons,
Safe Harbor & Anchorage, Coastal Navigation, Charts & Starlink connectivity, Authorities and Coast Guard/Navy contact information, Marine Life guidelines, Communications, Safe Passage planning, and insights into local language and traditional coastal life, the site aims to provide useful, real-world information for anyone engaging with
Sri Lanka’s coastal environment.

The turtle on the left, came up to a within a few feet of diners at a busy beach restaurant in Dehiwala with bright lights and a band playing to lay her eggs. Even better still was that two young marine biology undergrads were in attendance to gather up the eggs she laid to be taken out the turtle hatchery south of Colombo.

The huge painted stork on the left was patrolling the hot concrete parking lot of a busy suburban fish retail outlet miles from its regular habitat. After making eye contact and talking to him/her it quietly followed me to my car a respectful 5 feet from me. By then I had reach into my purchases and toss a fish which it caught mid air and swallowed whole. Amazing! Just another day making a living in the neighborhood for a smart bird.
