Sailing makes me happy! (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep131)
Sailing is a very satisfying way of moving from A to B. It can be very frustrating and compared to other new forms of transport very slow. It gives me a very nice sense of achievement though, arriving somewhere new, knowing that I harnessed the wind and wo...
New Mainsail! Measuring my boat. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep130)
Measuring the boat for a new mainsail was a pretty daunting prospect for me as a first timer. A lot could go wrong, like an expensive new sail turning up in Indonesia and not fitting at all with no way of changing it. The say is, "measure twice, cut once" ...
Sailing to my favourite waterfall, Moyo Island, Sumbawa. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep129)
We've been sailing almost daily this past couple of months, covering lots of new ground and discovering amazing new places to us. The sailing has ben great as you've seen in recent videos, pretty good consistent wind, relatively calm waters and best of all...
The locals got us Drunk! Sumbawa. (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep128)
Sailing hard across the top of Sumbawa we arrive at a small fishing village. Deciding to go ashore to find some fresh fruit we were pleasantly surprised. The welcome we got in Branti village was so warm and genuine, it actually shocked us a little. This ye...

Strong winds, shall I let her steer?? (Sailing Learning By Doing Ep127)
Komodo National Park is our location in this video. We spend a week sailing around exploring, snorkelling and climbing peaks. At any given time during a normal year there are 8-10 thousand visitors in the area. Its pretty special to explore these well know...
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 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 goin...
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...
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 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 pret...
