Ep 342 | From NOTHING to THIS! Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, Sailing Nutshell
December 16, 2023 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:09 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We take Peanut on the long motor to town. It’s a beautiful trip with plenty to see. There are phinisis everywhere!
We check out the town of Labuan Bajo which is the jumping-off point for the Komodo National Park and the famous Komodo dragons.
It’s a very busy place. We are on the search for fan belts and bearings for Nutshell. Amazingly, we find the fan belts!
Magnus takes Hazel out for a beautiful sail in the bay. He has a ball!
We are waiting for our visa extension which is being held up by a sponsor letter so we decide to leave Labuan Bajo and spend some time in the nearby islands. We are on the hunt for manta rays.
We explore a high-class resort, find coral in shallow waters, experience a very strange ocean state and eventually find the manta rays. Plus, we get to see hundreds of starfish.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
