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.

Along the way, we encounter unexpected visitors—curious fishermen or something more? Join us as we share what we learned about safety at sea, the reality of sailing in PNG, and the incredible stories of resilience from these remote islands.

From cooling off in a storm to exploring Nusa Island Retreat in Kavieng, this episode is packed with adventure, stunning landscapes, and moments of reflection on what it takes to sail safely in uncharted territories.

📍 Highlights:
• Sailing past Bougainville Island and its remarkable history.
• Encountering an unexpected boat—friend or foe?
• Arriving in PNG and exploring Nusa Island Retreat, rich with WWII artifacts and whale bones.
• Discussing the myths and realities of safety when sailing to Papua New Guinea.

🛥️ Don’t miss next time: Surfing at Kavieng and heading toward the Ninigo Islands!
