Josje’s sailing and creative work
Josje Maxime Leyton from New Zealand.
Our SV Delos profile gives more background on the sailing channel connected with Josje’s earlier time afloat.
Journeys and notable episodes
Location
After separating from Brady (who has recently started Cruiser’s Academy), she then went for a short holiday.
Within a couple of months, she was cruising with Riley and Elayna from Sailing La Vagabonde. She really came alive here where her energy bounced off Elayna’s so well!
She only spent one week with them on the catamaran.
After this time, she did some soul-searching while creating her Rama Tree brand focused on alternative arts. This has subsequently done very little.
Throughout 2018 and 2019, she spent time doing van life in Australia and continuing to live nomadically.
Her travel plans were interrupted in 2020 due to the Pandemic.
Josje Leyton has now been missing from social media now for 12+ months. No one has really heard anything since and many feel as though their best friend from Delos had suddenly vanished.
Her last video on YouTube was a little strange:
She also had her comments section turned off which is even more concerning.
Josje essentially cruised around from New Zealand to Australia, up to SE Asia and Madagascar, where she eventually left Brady.
This was her last episode on Delos:
Some consider that Brady was somewhat lazy and wasn’t able to financially support her. They did some crewing on superyachts which neither seemed to enjoy all that much.
Apart from Delos and La Vagabonde, was she on any other episode? I can’t recall personally, but if you have seen her elsewhere, please let me know.
Her biggest moment was leaving Brady which was quite emotional.
