Join us as we:
🌊 Navigate a massive river plume filled with floating logs and debris from Papua New Guinea’s rivers—catching a branch on our rudder!
🌙 Sail under the glow of a beautiful full moon, only to face an intense lightning storm on our final night.
🎂 Celebrate Pip’s birthday with a simple yet fun salon day aboard our boat.
