This website is evolving

I chose sailing as a profession because it is challenging and exciting. I love being close to the natural world and the Ocean is an untameable element of that.

You will find a list of my qualifications and a photography portfolio under “Sailing”.

Photography is something I started doing for joy and naturally evolved into a profession when I started working at sea. i shoot with a SONY alpha 6300, a compact and light camera that’s easy to travel with and keep onboard.

My name is Vanessa Africa, I am a sailor/photographer living and working in the Hebridean Islands on the North West coast of Scotland.
