Sailing Alone to The Exotic Island of Borneo on a Vintage 30ft Sailboat; A Long Format Sailing Film

Solo Sailing through out Southeast Asia

Hello Friends,
Welcome to my latest Long Format passage film. On this episode we depart Lombok for what I planned on being a 100NM overnight passage to the next anchorage. The sailing was simply too good so I skipped the anchorage and sailed on and soon decided I would sail the entire 400+ NM passage direct from Lombok to Borneo.

We enjoyed fantastic sailing conditions, no squalls and only had ship and fishing boat traffic to contend with. The sleep schedule solo in this busy waters was challenging, sleeping in 30 minute stretches for 3.5 days starts to wear you down, but the sailing was absolutely fantastic.

With this film I tried to combine many of the things I am always asked for in past films. Lots of quiet sailing shots, night time footage, talking through the processes and showing real life at sea.

I believe this is in the top 4 of the best sailing films / videos I have ever made. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Please join me for the Premiere of this film, I will be in the live chat watching along with everyone in realtime. make sure you hit the notification button!
