We nearly DIED! Motorbike drama in Flores Island, Indonesia.
Exploring on land is one of the main reason I started sailing. The few days we rode our rented motorbike around Flores were really amazing and the first time in 6 moths that we slept on land. We woke up very early one morning and hiked to the top of a hill and there watched the sun come up over the ...
Our 1st time off the boat in 6 months. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep125)
Sailing into the Komodo National park region was a big goal for us and we were lucky to be lent a very secure mooring in the protected harbour of Labuan Bajo. So with Schiehallion safe we decided to rent a scooter and explore the western part of the island of Flores. It was to be the 1st night we h...
Have we found PARADISE again??? (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep124)
Sailing west along the top of Flores Island took us to yet another beautiful island. The 17 Islands National Park is pretty remote and not very many tourists end up there with most spending their time around the better known Komodo National Park. We left Schiehallion in a safe spot and went explorin...
Positive Covid test & 3 lakes of Kelimutu (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep123)
We spent 10 days in Maumere, on the north coast of Flores Island. Strange place, very scared of covid and by default now, white people. To be allowed to go ashore we both had to do a rapid test and mine came back reactive. This meant we had to do another quarantine aboard Schiehallion until the resu...
Anchorage Heaven. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep122)
Sailing out of Alor Island was bitter sweet as we'd had such a great time there. We were sent off by a huge pod of dolphins and had a very calm overnight sail to our next spot. Now this place is not in any guide books and I hadn't seen any other boats going there but a local guy called Rid...
Sailing to see the ancient warriors. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep121)
Our second video from Alor, this week we visit the Quran festival at a small traditional town on the coast. They celebrate and re-enact when they were gifted an 800 year old Koran. It was really nice to see everyone dressed up in the traditional Ikat woven cloth and also to be so welcomed there. Peo...
Sailing with the WHALES. Sailing Learning By Doing Ep120
Sailing up the north coast of Flores Island we came across a big pod of whales. The water was glassy and super clear so we stopped the boat and hung out for a while. I got some great drone footage and we even jumped in the 1000m deep water for a look. I also show how I rig a preventer for sailing wi...
Sailing Learning By Doing Ep119. Attacked by a Super Horney Dungong!
We start exploring the island of Alor by renting a motorbike and driving around, getting a feel for the place pretty fast. Some local said we should visit a tiny traditional village called Takpala so we google mapped it and set off. Turned out to be a pretty hectic road for our little scooter but we...
Sailing a small boat FAST, 375 miles in 48hrs. (Learning By Doing Ep 118)
Sailing 365 miles in 48 hours, thats flying for a small boat. It was a pretty rough and wild passage but personally I enjoyed it a lot. Poor Marie not quite so much. She was very brave though and made a good step, increasing her trust in the boat and doing a coupe of watches. Enjoy! #RajaAmpat #Le...
Sailing our 1st Open Ocean passage together. (Learning By Doing Ep 117)
Maries first overnight passage wasn't even supposed to be! We planned on sailing the 40 miles over to Misool and staying there for a few days before continuing south to Maluku. But a stormy day and head winds meant we had to change plans and an easy 30 mile day sail turned into a rough and wild...
Yanmar 3GM30 major DIY engine service. (Learning By Doing Ep 116)
Its time for my Yanmar 3GM30 engine to get some love. We're in Sorong stocking up prior to leaving Raja Ampat and I decide its a good time to do a major service. I dismantle the whole cooling system, clean and replace all filters and check and adjust the valve clearances. Enjoy. #RajaAmpat #L...
Bringing your donations to Warimak. (Learning By Doing Ep 115)
Your generous donations were finally delivered to the kids of Warimak in this video! So happy to finally get back to this special remote little village. Marie shares some tips and techniques with the eager students using the new supplies we'd brought with us. So cool to see their learning curve...
FINALLY! We are allowed back to Warimak.(Learning By Doing Ep 114)
Warimak Village has been on my mind for a while now. After such a successful trip there last year and thanks to many of you buying the tee-shirts and supporting this project I was really looking forward to returning. Covid made that impossible until now, we finally got the ok to go, along with the p...
Away from Civilisation for 2 months. Sailing RAJA AMPAT (Learning By Doing Ep 113)
We've been away from Civilisation for 2 months now but as we'd heard things had relaxed a bit we decided to visit the small town of Waisei to do a major refill of provisions and fuel. It turned out to be a pretty cool experience as we only met happy helpful people, it seemed they were just...
Discovering the Hidden Gems of RAJA AMPAT (Learning By Doing Ep 112)
Hidden lakes accessed through stalactite hung caves in our dingy is what we show you this week on Learning By Doing. Raja Ampat has an incredible amount to discover and after nearly 2 years here I'm still being blown away by new places. Fellow kiwi's Murray and Carol off Jams showed us the...
Sailing PERFECTION! Sailing RAJA AMPAT (Learning By Doing Ep 112)
Sailing in 20kts with no waves?? Perfection is what you call it and that what we had on a recent sail over to Frewin island. We just let the cameras roll, didn't add any music and hope that you can enjoy the feeling as we did. We hadn't had any fresh fruit of veggies in a month so we paid ...
Living OFF GRID for a month during lockdown. (Learning By Doing Ep 111)
Still enjoying Wayag we take our Indiana paddle boards to a magical little lagoon that has some pretty amazing things to discover. We snorkel there for over 3 hours. The underwater world can pretty much transport me to another place and I'm pretty happy Marie finds as much pleasure in it as I d...
OFF GRID during lockdown. Sailing RAJA AMPAT (Learning By Doing Ep 110)
Wayag is maybe that place you've seen pictures of but never known where it is. Marie and I have been spending a lot of time during the covid thing in Wayag, nearly alone in this piece of paradise. We are trying to explore every corner of it and show you at home this special place. This week we ...
Underwater Paradise, RAJA AMPAT. Sailing Indonesia (Learning By Doing Ep 109)
Raja Ampat is well known for its pristine waters and amazing diving. Marie and I spend a couple of days at a very remote island exploring. We'd motersailed over from Wayag only 2 days before and panned to stay in our swimming pool like anchorage for a week but the weather blew in exactly from t...
Which Propeller is BEST! Comparison video. Sailing Indonesia (Learning By Doing Ep 108)
Which Propeller has the best output, in this video I find out. Late 2019 I brought a new Tohatsu 9.8hp 2 stroke engine for my dingy. It came with no spare parts so while in Europe I ordered amount other things a spare propeller. I ordered it in a slightly different dimension than the original so dec...
Huge SPIDERS, Hidden lakes & a Q&A.Sailing Indonesia (Learning By Doing Ep 107)
Huge spiders make Marie a very scared girl! We go on a jungle hike to find a lake I saw on a satellite images only to discover the jungle was heavily populated by crawlies. After I answer a few questions from you viewers. Enjoy! #learningbydoing #sailing #Indonesia Become part of the crew and sup...
Crashed my drone into a cliff and recovered it, JUST! (Learning By Doing Ep 106)
Finally free from Quarantine we sail far from the nearest village to the beautiful Wayag. This will be are base for the coming month and we find the most amazing anchorage right away. My drone didn't seem to like the spot though and promptly flew into a bush which saw me risking my life to try ...
We’re FREE!!! Sailing Indonesia (Learning By Doing Ep 105)
With our Quarantine swiftly nearing its end we get stuck into getting the boat sea-worthy. Jobs include climbing the mast to check the rigging, oiling the woodwork, checking and repairing the sails, rebedding the front hatch and more. The day arrived when we were allowed to go into town and visit th...
