It's time for another big crossing, 2000 nm from Cocos Keeling islands to Rodrigues. Luckily the Outremer makes big oceans a lot smaller and we're not even the fastest Outremer with Saga, POM III and BioTrek around us
After a couple of days on Christmas Islands it's time for the second leg of the Indian Ocean crossing. 550 nm towards the marvelous turquoise waters of Cocos Keeling Islands
A couple of stops after leaving Satonda we arrive at Medana Bay Marina where we prepare the boats for the Indian Ocean crossing and say goodbye to a couple of boats that will follow a different program. 13 boats left in the GLYWO to cross the next ocean .....
After the busy busy Labuan Bajo it's good to be cruising around Indonesia on our own boat again. We visit very nice spots on times that they're not over populated like the Seven Mushrooms, Komodo, Wera and Satonda Island.
Marijke flies back to Bau Bau and we have some very nice winds helping us to catch up with the rest of the group. In order to avoid all the fishing pontoons we use the speed of Greatcircle to make the necessary crossings during daylight.
Marijke flies home to celebrate new life and Thomas joins us for the crossing from Australia over the Arafura Sea towards Kei Islands in Indonesia. Not easy to avoid the numerous fishing vessels and their nets in the dark at an average speed of close to 10...
We follow Nick's recommendations along the coast of Queensland towards Cairns. Beautiful stops. especially the ones at Zoe Bay, Magnetic Island and Kent Island.
After the excitement in Hills Inlet we continu cruising through the Whitsundays and visit Tongue Bay, Butterfly Bay, Bait Reef, One Foot Island and Nara Inlet before heading to Airlie Beach
The Grand Large Yachting Team flies Down Under to meet the GLYWO boats visiting Australia. Gives us a perfect opportunity to meet new members of the Outremer family and have a lot of fun both on and off the water.
Hopefully for the last time during our GLYWO around the world rally, we haul out the boat in Mackay for new BLACK antifouling and Greatcircle gets an additional welness treatment sponsored by Outremer
Victor and I are sailing 1150 miles across the ocean towards Mackay where we are going to be hauled out for new antifouling
Oh before I forget, Marijke has arrived in Mackay as well so of course her voice will guide you through the next episodes again…
Impressive day as we first witness locals from the Vanuatu island of Pentecost risk their lives jumping head first of a wooden tower and we have our own adventure being ambushed by twice the amount of wind sailing to Santo
Marijke is in Holland as Mark waits for Victor to arrive on the main island of Vanuatu. Together they sail to Malekula, Ambrym and Pentecost before preparing the ocean crossing to Australia
After visiting the Avocado festival on Maré Island it's time to cross to the next country : Vanuatu.
First stop is at the island of Tanna where we have an incredible view at the active volcano of Mount Yasur
Our last week of sailing in New Caledonia before we cross to Vanuatu. In Prony Bay we get company, the Grand Large Media team comes on board and makes a very nice parallel video of our time together.
Something AWESOME is coming!
