We Were The First Yachts Ever to Visit This Island -Then A Terrifying Night Of Near Misses- S6 Ep148
Island hopping to Borneo, we visit another super friendly, but very remote village. Located in the middle of the Makassar Strait, Labuan Barat on Pulau Matsirih is so remote, the villagers told us we were the very first yachts ever to stop here. Our arrival causes mayhem amongst the excited school children and provides another chance for us to present some gifts for their school. Then we push on with our final overnight sail to Kalimantan, Borneo but run into a maze of fishing boats, squid platforms, tugs towing huge barges on long cables and busy shipping traffic, all combining to giving us a night of near misses playing “dodge ems” around numerous ships, fishing boats, squid platform, tugs towing huge barges and very narrowly avoiding a collision by as little as 120 metres.
Sail along with us to experience the liveaboard lifestyle, remote island exploration, offshore sailing, tropical anchorages, and the freedom and challenges of long-term boat life. If you love sailing adventures, cruising life, travel documentaries, and exploring hidden gems off the beaten path, you will enjoy watching through to the end.
