Sailing from Papua New Guinea to Indonesia | Sailing with Six | S4 1
In this episode of Sailing with Six, we leave Lau Island in the stunning Ninigo Islands and set sail for Biak, West Papua, Indonesia—a 500-nautical-mile adventure across challenging seas.
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.
⚓ Arrive in Biak, dropping anchor early in the morning, ready to explore the unique culture of West Papua.
