To avoid terrible sailing conditions, we made the bold choice to cross the notorious Sulu Sea from Malaysia to Palawan, stopping overnight on an island deep in the red zone!? Known for pirate activity and unpredictable weather, this quickly became one of our most intense and nerve-wracking passages yet. Let us know in the comments if you’d be up to undertake this sail... ;)

Check out my latest find: nearly new foul-weather gear I picked up second-hand! This set, possibly from a Belgian racing team, is in incredible condition and perfect for my next adventure. It’s all part of prepping Wahine to sail north in a few weeks, following the annual Cherry Blossom Front as it moves up Japan’s archipelago. Get ready for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2. #SailingLife #ChasingTheCherryBlossom #FoulWeatherGear #SecondHandFinds #foulweather #SailingAdventure #BoatLife #SailingPrep #JapanExploration #CherryBlossomSeason #SailingJapan #japanadventure #sailing #sailingjapan

How to tie a super charged reef knot: the Simple Simon #knots #sailing. Form a bight (loop) and then the easiest way of remembering it is to just use the opposite to the Bowline trick. You know the drill with the rabbit, but backwards ... Down the hole with the working end, round and then back up again. 🔹 This knot is more secure than a reef knot and does not become loose and unravel if it gets jerked around. It also works well with different sized ropes and slippy synthetic, something the Reef can't really claim to do. 🔹 A good one for your Knot Arsenal is the Simon.
