Episode 439 : Amazing Jungle Caves, Dead Lithium and Solutions

Hello Friends,
On this episode I head ashore to the small island of Kelayang to explore its towering rocks and caves. It was like stepping into the movie Plant of the Apes! The jungle, moss, ferns and rocks meeting the sea and coral rubble!!!! Remarkably beautiful!

The next morning I awoke to my last remaining battery glitching out, likely its BMS also damaged by the near lightning strike. I then accepted the kind help of my friends on SV Shameless https://www.youtube.com/@sailingshameless5672 who kindly lent me some cash allowing me to get a back up lead acid battery.

Sailing Triteia

My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
