E209 - Wild Orangutans in Borneo
🌊 Exploring Remote Anambas Islands & Wild Orangutans in Borneo
(We're back having recovered our data following the lighting strike... that is coming soon!)
Embark on an unforgettable journey across Southeast Asia’s hidden gems. We start amid the turquoise waters of Indonesia’s Anambas Islands, exploring secluded bays and untouched coral reefs before arriving at Serasan Island, where friendly locals greet us like celebrities. A day spent zipping around on scooters reveals the island’s authentic charm, from coastal villages to lush tropical backroads.
As the sun sets, we set sail overnight toward Kuching, Sarawak (Malaysia). After clearing customs, our first mission is to visit the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, home to rehabilitated orangutans living freely in the rainforest. Witnessing these incredible creatures in the wild is nothing short of magical—a perfect finale to our island-hopping adventure.

WHO ARE WE?
Hey there! We’re Chris and Jo, an ordinary Aussie couple living our extraordinary dream aboard our Seawind 1260 since January 2019 and now we continue from 2024 aboard our new Seawind 1370!
Our adventure began with an unforgettable journey down the east coast of Australia, followed by a sail to the stunning New Caledonia. In 2020, we continued our exploration further north, and by 2021 and 2022, we circumnavigated Australia, discovering breathtaking locations along the way.
Having previously owned fishing and water-skiing boats, our passion for sailing deepened after crewing in South Australia, leading us to make the leap into full-time living at sea.
We hope to inspire you, just as we were inspired by other YouTube channels, to chase your dreams and explore the wonders of this beautiful world. Join us on our journey, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more sailing adventures!
