What is 83-year-old Ok-sun Hyun doing jumping into the ocean with a leaded belt and a sharpened knife? Just what she’s been doing for the past 65 years: collecting abalone, sea urchin and octopus to feed the villagers on the small island of Jeju in South Korea. It is primitive, painful and lonely work, and she is one of a dying breed. In Last Mermaids, follow the journey of Korean American Kimi Kim as she leaves her hometown New York to find her roots on Jeju Island. With Ok-sun as her mentor, she learns the ancient craft of diving for sustenance and finds peace beneath the surface in the mermaid’s garden.

On @Dreamtimesail we continue our explorations sailing our classic Whitby 42 Ketch through extremely remote areas of Indonesia and are amazed as each and every stop provides new adventures with extremely friendly locals and incredible sights to see above and below the water. We thought the north coast of the island of Seram had provided it all but then the surprises continued as we had a cracking sail onto an unexpected gem of an anchorage in a coral lagoon at a tiny village on Pulau Minipa. Here a planned overnight stay got stretched to spend time with the locals and enjoy some glorious snorkelling amongst the myriads of tropical fish and very healthy coral. Then we had another spirited sail across to the city of Namlea on Buru Island. Who says there’s no wind in Indonesia? We’ve found plenty so far.

You've seen this clip many times on nature programmes I guess but here is evidence that sailors are frequently accompanied by sea life. Shortly before this clip one of these pilot whales was jumping clean out of the water vertically. An impressive sight since pilot whales are considerably bigger than dolphins.
