Captain's Log 240326 – Planning the Dream from Afar

Even though I'm not in Abidjan right now, the Ébrié Lagoon is never far from my mind. After more than 30 years on the water, I can still clearly picture the golden sunsets reflecting on the calm water, the herons flying low over the mangroves, and that peaceful feeling of being out on the boat.

Right now I'm working from afar to get everything ready — the boats, safety equipment, and all the small details so we can offer genuine, high-quality sunset cruises and private charters when the time comes.

Your support on the GoFundMe is already making a real difference and helping turn this dream into reality.

More Captain's Logs will follow as we get closer to launch.

Captain's Log 250326 – Why Wooden Boats Still Feel Right

After 30+ years on the water, I've tried many different boats. But on the Ébrié Lagoon, nothing beats a proper traditional wooden boat.These boats sit perfectly in the shallow waters and move quietly through the mangroves. 

You feel the gentle rocking and hear the soft sound of water against the wood.Right now I'm making sure our wooden boats are safe, comfortable, and ready for small sunset cruises and private charters.

Modern boats are faster, but on this lagoon the wooden ones just feel right for the moment.

More Captain's Logs coming soon.
