Join us as we sail our classic ketch through the stunning waters of Southeast Asia, journeying from the remote village of Baopinang in Sulawesi to the vibrant port city of Bau Bau on Buton Island, Indonesia. In this episode, we navigate through pristine seascapes before encountering masses of trees and flotsam rafted by currents, share practical insights into extending Indonesian visas for cruisers, and explore the rich cultural tapestry of the region, culminating in a visit to a Balinese community joyously celebrating a very eye opening Hindu cremation ceremony. Whether you're passionate about sailing adventures, planning to travel Indonesia, or fascinated by traditional Southeast Asian culture, this episode offers an unforgettable glimpse into life on the water and ashore in one of the world’s most captivating sailing destinations.
