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!

Cyclone Narelle, what actually happened?(Ep 316)
Cyclone Narelle hit the Northern Territory coast just south of Gove, where we were taking shelter deep up in the mangroves.
