Is it Safe to Sail to Papua New Guinea?
Sailing through remote waters always comes with challenges and uncertainties. In this episode, we set sail for Papua New Guinea, navigating past Bougainville Island, a place steeped in history from the Coconut Revolution and recent unrest.

📍 Highlights:
• Sailing past Bougainville Island and its remarkable history.
• Encountering an unexpected boat—friend or foe?
