I’m surrounded by hungry SHARKS! (Learning By Doing Ep 173)
Raja Ampat, one of the worlds most beautiful places, for sure, but as its sits right on the Equator there's not a lot of wind. For those of us who loves to actually sail, not ideal. This time we get a few puffs and make the most of it. We've made a few vid...

Why motor when we can SAIL? (Learning By Doing Ep167)
