E225 - Satonda Volcano & Swimming With Whale Sharks in Sumbawa
We leave Komodo National Park and sail towards the extinct volcanic island of Satonda, off the northern coast of Sumbawa. Famous for its unique saltwater crater lake hidden at the centre of the island, Satonda is an incredible place to visit. The anchorage, however, is very limited, and just beyond it the seafloor plunges to depths of over 1,000 metres as the volcano drops away into the ocean. We stop only for the day, with several of the other rally boats jumping aboard No Regrets to explore the island together.
Continuing on to Sumbawa, we’re welcomed by some of the friendliest locals we’ve ever met, making this stop just as memorable as the destination itself. But the real highlight comes before sunrise, as we wake early for a truly unforgettable experience — swimming alongside majestic whale sharks. Seeing these enormous yet gentle creatures up close was absolutely breathtaking and something we will never forget.

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 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!
