ALONE at anchor in the spectacular wilderness | Sailing Ep 327

Here, in the Gulf of Tomini, the charts show few marked anchorages. There is no pilot or cruising guide with a nice list of places to drop the hook, and this seldom-visited area isn't on any regular sailing passage. So how do we find a safe place to anchor? 🤙 Support us: PATREON | FTBMates | R...

OH NO! We’ve Run Out Of Money | Sailing and Travel Vlog Ep 323

We've run out of money, and there is no sign of an ATM that will take our foreign cards. So now what? Jamie's on a mission, and looking for a way to get our hands on some cash in the remotest villages of Indonesia turns out to be a nigh-on impossible task. It rapidly begins to resemble a c...
