Balbulol: Jurassic Paradise Meets Harsh Reality | Sailing Indonesia We drop anchor in Balbulol, a surreal maze of prehistoric rock karsts that feels like sailing through Jurassic Park or Avatar. The colors are unreal, the wildlife is incredible, and the atmosphere is pure magic - this is one of the most breathtaking places we've ever explored. But nature's beauty comes with a harsh reminder. After a sudden storm, a tide of plastic and rubbish washes into this remote paradise. It's heartbreaking to see, but we roll up our sleeves and do what we can to clean up. After soaking in the raw beauty (and reality) of Balbulol, we prep the boat for our sail to Sorong for a big provisioning run - all in preparation for our next adventure to the legendary Wayag. ?

What started as a routine departure quickly turned into chaos. Our buddy boat accidentally picks up our anchor, nearly causing a collision as we try to escape a tight cove. As if that wasn't enough, we sail blind through a relentless storm on our way to Lenkafal - rain pouring, visibility near zero, and uncharted islands lurking all around. With nerves frayed and tension high, we finally get tied up... only to reposition again. After hours of battling the elements and navigating the unknown, we reward ourselves with a much-needed stiff drink and head out to explore this wild, remote corner of Misool.

Our First Time Med Mooring - In a Rocky Coral Cove! ??? | Sailing WeeWaa This was definitely one for the sailing memory books... Our very first Med mooring attempt-and we chose a tiny, rocky coral cove with barely enough room to swing a paddle! With crystal-clear water, sharp coral heads, and cliffs all around, it was beautiful? and intimidating. Join us as we carefully navigate into the narrow entrance, drop anchor, reverse toward shore, and attempt to tie off our catamaran stern-to the rocks-all for the first time. Will it go smoothly? Will we hit coral? Will we lose our nerves? Spoiler: it ends with a perfectly still boat, a mysterious barefoot fisherman helping us tie off, and the kind of quiet sunset that makes it all worth it. ?? ? Watch to see how we handled it step by step ? Get a feel for what Med mooring is really like (when you've never done it before!) ? Plus-some gorgeous drone shots of the cove and underwater coral ?

We bump into Whale Sharks (quite literally) on the way to Fakfak to do a massive provision. It's been SOOOOOO long since we've done a proper shop and we are eager to fill our fridge, freezer & pantry with everything we can find!

Beauty & the Beast.... The beast being our anchor solenoid that just won't work properly. We are reaching deeper & deeper anchorages and we need our electronics to work!!! The beauty makes it better though. How amazing are these ocean waterfalls?

Migraines & machines..... our anchor solenoid still isn't working. Our gopro ten died. I lost dans speargun & I spend nearly 24 hrs vomiting from a migraine.... This is the 'not so fun' part of boat life! Then the awesome stuff returns! ?

Boat after boat approaches us, demanding money. We try to communicate, to understand, but nothing seems to help. What started as an incredible adventure has quickly turned into frustration. We're in one of the most breathtaking locations we've ever seen, but instead of soaking it in, we just want out. Is this just how things work here? Is this what we should expect for the foreseeable future? We're still trying to figure it out. Let us know what you think in the comments. ? Subscribe to follow our journey! ?

We set off on our first overnight sail in Indonesia, heading towards the remote and breathtaking region of West Papua. But as we prepare to leave our first "real" foreign anchorage, disaster strikes-our anchor winch stops working! With deep anchorages, steep coral drop-offs, and unfamiliar waters ahead, we're left wondering? what the heck are we going to do? Despite the challenges, we push forward into uncharted territory, navigating through stunning but daunting waters. And when we finally arrive, we start to experience what some call "piracy" in this region-locals demanding payment just for being there. But is it really piracy, or just a different way of life? You'll have to decide. Stay tuned for the next episode, where things get even more intense! ? Subscribe & follow our journey! ? Where should we explore next?

Arriving in Tual, Repositioning the Boat, & Unexpected Passport Drama | Sailboat Life We finally made it to Tual around 11 AM, but things didn't go exactly as planned! After dragging anchor, we had to reposition the boat, and then the immigration officials took our passports ashore-despite the common rule to never hand over your passport to anyone! Customs and quarantine officials came aboard to inspect the boat, and after we got all signed in, we set out to explore Tual. Along the way, we discovered that our sail was beyond repair, so it was time for some problem-solving. Meanwhile, the kids had a blast playing soccer as we took in the local sights.

In this thrilling episode, we set sail from Thursday Island, bound for Indonesia, but things quickly spiral out of control. First, our Starlink dish takes a dive off the boat, leaving us without connection. Then, we're hit with a leak and start taking on water, all while our spinnaker blows in the wind.
