We will board the liveaboard in Saumlaki, one of the easternmost islands in Indonesia. We'll then sail north through the Banda Sea through a chain of islands and atolls known as the Forgotten Islands. One of the attractions of the Banda Sea, besides us most likely being the only boat in the area, are the reefs. They are absolutely mind-blowing. The coral is so dense that you will be hard-pressed to see any patches of the reef's limestone foundation. Many of the reefs consist of expansive fringing hard coral plateaus that extend from the island or atoll and then eventually drop off into the deep blue. These walls or slopes are covered in sponges, colorful soft corals, and sea fans. Additionally, there will be plenty of reef dwellers like dazzling schools of tropical fish, larger pelagic species like tunas, jacks, and batfish passing in the blue, and juvenile reef sharks patrolling the shallows. It's also the time of the year when the blue whales start their migration south to Australia. Thus, it may be possible to spot one or several from the boat.

Sales del puerto con vientos débiles y poco a poco, mientras te haces uno con tu barco de vela, comienza a arreciar el viento. Esta situación es ideal. Es como cuando vas al gimnasio. Calientas y luego le das duro. En esta ocasión el guionista nos lo ha puesto fácil y vamos de menos a más. Empezamos con 11 nudos de intensidad de viento para acabar en 27 nudos teniendo que tomar el rizo 2.

The self-tailing winch…..what more can be said or achieved with a device that has been with us for over 50 years…well according to Ronstan we’ve been missing a trick for decades. Because their new Orbit Winch is not only a very clever piece of innovative thinking, but could change the way we handle our sails.
