Episode 433 :

Hello Friends,
On this episode I attempt to extend my visa and find that once again the Indonesian government has changed the rules and the immigration office refuses to extend my visa forcing me to have to clear out of the country early.

Indonesia is known as the absolute worst country to deal with when it comes to paperwork for sailing through their country (as far as countries where people regularly cruise by sailboat). They constantly change the rules over night and make things even more complicated than they need to be.

Many yachts clear out before the border because the harbor master at the final clear out office is known to be corrupt and rips off anyone who clears out there. But if something goes wrong in the next 400 miles It will make things very complicated for me.

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.
