⁣Episode 430 : Horse Drawn Carriages, Turquoise Waters and AIS issues

Hello Friends,
On this episode I explore the island of Gili Air and was amazed at how it felt more like French Polynesia than Indonesia. I loved the vibe of this island that is free of cars and motorbikes making it a very pleasant place to wander around take in the views and people watch. Like a miniature Bali with less chaos.

Discovering my AIS was was far from fixed I headed over the Medana Marine and ended up taking a fast boat to Bali to pick up a new AIS antenna.

Episode 420 : California Speaking Tour 2025 Hello Friends, This is a special episode of the talk I gave at the Richmond Yacht Club (SFBAY) organized by the Singlehanded Sailing Society (thanks to @westsailtortuga3179 and @SailingRumour ) in March of 2025. For this talk I speak specifically about solo sailing, going it alone, the contrasts in sailing singlehanded vs. double handed, my sleep schedule and more. At the end of the talk is a Q&A with the audience members. I edited in some of the slides and videos so YouTube viewers could better see what was being projected for the live audience. I have one more of these talks that will be released soon where I talk about some of the highlights of my last 4 years of cruising. Thanks to The Richmond Yacht Club: https://www.richmondyc.org The Singlehanded Sailing Society: https://sfbaysss.org I did this tour to promote my new Channel Islands Cruising Guide : https://svtriteia.bigcartel.com/product/the-channel-islands-of-california-a-cruising-guide If you enjoy the channel please "Like" the videos and Subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes.
