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...
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...
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 S...
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 q...
Anchorage Heaven. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep122)

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 al...

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...
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 mil...
