Only a coupe of months in the water after a fresh coat of bottom paint and the hull is covered in growth. To make matters worse, I applied HARD antifoul paint and its very soft and has in places already disappeared. Three years ago I applied the same brand...
How much water do you need under your keel? I like to have at least 1m but in this situation I made an exception, but only after thoroughly checking the situation out. Still makes me feel pretty nervous and I didnt fully unclench until we made it safely in...
This week my birthday rolled around again. We released some baby turtles, constructed a new table in the galley and had a live screening of the Triple Klown race video at the local bar.
We have also decided to not return to Europe this coming winter and wi...
We are still in Rote and loving discovering the culture and the different communities here. A small but very vibrant sailing group has started to arise over the last couple of years. This is because of Bruce, as he builds these little sailing tri-marans. T...

Man Overboard!!!! This is a shituation us cruisers hope that we'll never have to face. Training for this possibility though is very important so I walk Marie through it step-by-step. This was very much "basic training" with perfect conditions and pretty un...
Red bananas, who knew? Never seen them myself so we got a bunch and boy they are good!
Once a week there is a fresh food market in Nembrala, Rote but you have to get there early before all the expats snap up the good stuff. We walked the 1km out there and ...
After 2 weeks quarantine aboard our 37ft boat in the extremely uncomfortable achorage of Kupang were we finally able to pull up the anchor. We had an amazing, fun and fast 70nm sail down to Rote Island.
Marie spends her first days and night alone on Schieh...
Sailing our small boat around Indonesia has been a real adventure, not knowing what's going to happen most days. This video is not about one adventure in particular, more of a round-up for a few different ones. Sailing along the north coast of Flores Islan...
How much does it cost to sail a small boat in Indonesia? We get asked this all the time so we made a video of our last provisioning stop in Labuan Bajo, Komodo. Now this just includes food, water, fuel for about a month.
We also address the issue brought ...

Sailing along the north coast of Sumbawa, Indonesia we were contacted on Facebook by a guy called Udin. He's an English teacher in the small region of Kilo and he invited us to come visit him. During covid we dont get many locals reaching out to to us so t...

We like to sail off our anchor whenever possible, its a great feeling to sail from A-B using only wind power. It takes some practise and understanding of your boat but these skills are very valuable to learn. We spend a couple of days at a beautiful seclud...
Sailing Learning By Doing finally got her brand New Mainsail, Boombag and covers! Zoom Sails did a great job with my order and I highly recommend anyone thinking of new sails to give Philip Auger a call.
We have finally left the Bali, west Lombok area and...

Haul-out time is always a bit stressful as so much can go wrong. Schiehallion draws 2m so that meant hauling out at 8pm as the day time tides were all too small. The crew at Medana Bay in Lombok did a great j...
