Closing In On The Equator! – Ep. 114
The countdown is on! Our latitude is getting closer and closer to zero as we approach the equator for the second time on our circumnavigation! Of course, to get there, we had to work for it. The winds close to the equator are incredibly light, but somehow I managed to actually come up with an inc...
Waterspouts and Traffic Jams – Ep. 113
Sailing in Indonesia is always an adventure. If we're not dodging fishing boats and FADs, apparently we need to keep an eye out for waterspouts! We had a couple water spouts form way too close for comfort on our sail over to Belitung. Fortunately, we escaped without any incident but it'...
Meeting the People of the Forest in Borneo – Ep. 112
In Malay, orang means "person" and utan is derived from hutan, meaning "forest." So orangutan is literally translated as "person of the forest." Orangutans are the only great apes of Asia and there was no way were were going to pass up seeing them while we were sailin...
The Hazards of Sailing in Indonesia – Ep. 111
It's time for some real talk. Sailing in Indonesia is not very fun or very easy. And here's why: There are fish attraction devices (FADs) everywhere, including in extremely deep water, they don't have lights and you can't see them on radar. And if you're not worried abou...
Let’s Get Wet in Bali! – Ep 110
What's not to love about Bali? It really does have it all. We had some good sailing, went and dove a WWII wreck, hiked some secret waterfalls, visited a Balinese temple on a lake, flew a drone over some gorgeous rice fields and celebrated Amy's birthday. All in one week! The only thing...
Gentlemen Really Shouldn’t Sail to Weather – Ep 109
A word of advice. It's perhaps not the best idea to take two ladies on a sailing passage that turns into a tough upwind bash. Especially when it's the first time one of them has ever sailed overnight! Our friend Sara had a flight to catch on the island of Lombok so we had watched the we...
108 – Oh Yes, Dragons Are Real in Komodo National Park
Sailing in Indonesia's Komodo National Park is like sailing in a different world. Here, dragons are real, giant peaceful aliens swim in the water and the coral is so healthy it hides tiny creatures we'd never seen before. Our friend Sara came to join us on this adventure, and what an adv...
107 – Spinnaker Sailing(!) to Labuan Bajo
What's this??? Two successful spinnaker sails in a row??? There may be hope for us yet! We were faced with light winds again for our passage down to Labuan Bajo on Flores Island so it was the perfect opportunity to get some more spinnaker practice. It turns out Starry Horizons rather likes ...
106 – Festival Pesona Budaya: A True Taste of Indonesian Culture
The spinnaker came out to help us sail (and race!) in the light airs over to Pasar Wajo on Buton Island. While it was one of our slowest sails ever, I was just thrilled that we managed not to rip the spinnaker... again! Pasar Wajo was going to be a big rally stop as we were invited to the Festival...
105 – An Underwater Paradise in Wakatobi
One of the things we loved about Indonesia was the pristine water and the beautiful coral and aquatic life. And Hoga Island in Wakatobi National Park had all three of those things in abundance. Between going snorkeling and diving, it felt like we spent more time under the water here than above it!...
104 – Sailing Zoomies to Wakatobi
Sailing Zoomies = Starry Horizons speak for sailing fast. Just in case you were wondering... :D We had 380nm to cover in order to sail from the Banda Islands over to Hoga in Indonesia's Wakatobi National Park and faced a "tough" choice. Sail fast and make this a two night passage ...
74. BOAT LIFE – Alternative Living in the Keys | Learning the Lines
After two and a half weeks of waiting, we finally got a mooring ball in Boot Key Harbor. Now the real work (and fun) begins. We drove up to Tampa to pick up our new electric dinghy motor as well as to visit with family. When we got back to the harbor, we immediately tested the new motor out by tak...
103 – History Lessons and World Class Diving in The Spice Islands
The Spice Islands, also known as the Banda Islands, are a truly unique place. For centuries, these islands were the epicenter of the Asian spice trade as they were the only place in the world that grew nutmeg. The Dutch and the British fought for control over these islands, with brutal results for...
102 – Quiet Time in Walir
After the craziness of clearing in to Indonesia, we were ready to get back to basics. We sailed over to Walir and found white sand beaches, good snorkeling and great friends. And to us, that's what the cruising life is all about. Oh, and wondering what that crazy thing with the waving arms w...
100th Episode Special: Behind the Scenes, Bloopers & Outtakes
In celebration of our 100th episode, we've put together a look into life behind the scenes while filming a sailing YouTube channel. This is all the bloopers, outtakes and funny moments from more than 4 years of sailing around the world! A little gift from us to you. Thanks for being on thi...
100 – Dodging Fishing Fleets On The Way to INDONESIA!
Sailing to Indonesia seems like a fantastic way to celebrate Episode 100!!! Can you believe we've come this far?? This was no ordinary passage either. After leaving Australia, we had to do some technical sailing, adjusting to wind shifts by trying different sail combinations as well as our s...
99 – Our LAST Sail in Australia!
The passage from Cairns to Thursday Island marked the end of our seven months of sailing in Australia. And what a seven months they were! In all, we sailed 2,300nm in Australia and this leg had some of the best sailing yet. There was lots of wind from deep behind us, which allowed us to use only ...
98 – Water Everywhere! Sailing to Cairns
It's time to sail from the Whitsunday Islands up to Cairns. The only problem... it won't stop raining! Grey and wet weather doesn't make for a whole lot of fun and the high winds meant we had to skip sailing out to the Great Barrier Reef. That was a big bummer, but we were excited...
97 – Celebrating my BIRTHDAY in the Whitsundays!
Is there a better way to celebrate your birthday than island hopping and sailing around the Whitsunday Islands in Australia? I'm not sure there is! Our mad dash up the Australian coast continues as we sail up to the Whitsundays and enjoy several weeks of beautiful beaches, clear water and eve...
96 – Sailing Up Australia’s East Coast
You never realize just how big Australia is until you have to sail up the coast. Spoiler alert... it's big! We started out this leg of our trip with an overnight passage up to Fraser Island. But to get into Fraser from the south, you have to cross the Wide Bay Bar, aka "The Mad Mile.&q...
95 – Does The Boat Work Ever End??
Sailing around the world on a boat is a lot of work. Sometimes, it's more work than others. We had a stretch of about three months where it felt like we were constantly working on boat projects. Even after Starry Horizons got a lot of TLC at The Boat Works, we still had to work through some ...
94 – Up the Inside Passage to Moreton Bay
There's a lot to explore on the east coast of Australia and we began by taking the inside passage from the Gold Coast up to Moreton Bay. This was a great way to get used to life on the water again as it had been waaaay too long since we'd properly cruised aboard Starry Horizons. Our frie...
Salt & Tar: Episode 37 – The Bulwarks
We are getting closer to real time. This is the last of the redo projects! We are currently working on the sheathing, the episodes are about 2 months behind. Redoing the bulwarks was one of those projects you get mostly done and then realize you should probably wait until the boat is in the water to...
