Solo Sailing, Swimming with Manta Rays - Sailing Papua - Learning By Doing Ep76
February 02, 2019 by Sailing Learning By Doing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:14:59 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
I set off for a 15 days Solo passage to Indonesia from Kavieng, PNG.
I have some great sailing, hit the usual squalls that give me a pounding but also cool me down and catch a few fish on route to a stop-over at Hermit Islands. I anchor right at the head of Manta Pass, aptly named indeed! I swim each day off my boat and get my mind blown by the huge graceful Mantas circling underneath. One of my most memorable experiences to date. Enjoy!

Snapped Engine mounts, sweat, blood, tears and swearing RAW. (ep 289)
