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.

@vagabond-voyages Rencontre avec les raies manta au mouillage à Tikehau, Tuamotu, Polynésie Française Suite à la publication de la vidéo de notre rencontre avec ce couple de raie manta à Tikehau, nous avons été contacté par Mantas de Polynésie, un programme d'étude des raies manta en Polynésie... En fait, nous avons eu la chance d'assister à une parade nuptiale de la doyenne du lagon et de Vavevave! Un mâle manta voyageur qui a déjà fait deux fois le trajet jusqu'à Bora Bora, il a parcouru une distance de plus de 400 km! C'est incroyable !

While anchored near Kuummiitt village in East Greenland, the Global Surveyor’s anchor got tangled in seaweed. It took the crew some time to clear the obstruction before continuing the journey towards Ikateq. #GlobalSurveyor #EastGreenland #Anchoring #SailingGreenland #Kuummiitt #Ikateq #SailingJourney #YachtAdventure #sailglobalsurveyor #sailingadventure
