Join us on a 6-day sailing passage from Thursday Island, Australia to Tual, Indonesia aboard our Jeanneau 45 sailboat! 🌊⛵ It was an unforgettable offshore journey filled with epic ocean moments and serious mechanical challenges. We were visited by dolphins riding our bow, caught nothing but sharks, and watched breathtaking sunsets—but things took a turn when our gearbox failed mid-passage. With no propulsion, we hipped up the dinghy and towed our sailboat to anchorage. Real sailing, raw and unfiltered. Whether you're dreaming of sailing to Indonesia, want to know how to handle a broken gearbox at sea, or love wildlife and sailing adventure content, this short captures it all. 📍 Route: Thursday Island, Australia → Tual, Indonesia 🎣 Wildlife spotted: Dolphins, sharks, flying fish ⚙️ Issue: Gearbox failure mid-ocean 🛶 Solution: Hipped up the dinghy to tow to anchorage Subscribe for more real-life sailing experiences, DIY boat fixes, and life at sea with @SeafolkSailing #sailing #sailinglife #sailingaustralia #offshoresailing #oceanlife #liveaboardlife

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest one on the Dalmatian coast, so it stands to reason that you will have a blast when visiting. This historic city dates back some 1,700 years, with Diocletian's Palace sitting at the centre of its history and Old Town. This impressive waterfront city is the perfect starting point for all your adventures along the coast, however it is also well worth some dedicated time to explore all the city has to offer. Here are our must-do things in Split: 1. Visit Diocletian's Palace - built in the 4th Century by Roman Emperor, Diocletian, the palace is now UNESCO Protected and is one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture. 2. Climb the bell tower at the Cathedral of St. Dominus and take in the incredible views of the Old Town, Marjan Hill and surrounding islands 3. Sip coffee and people watch on the Riva Promenade; a waterfront city location featuring palm trees and polished marble floors 4. Wine and dine at Republic Square 5. Rub the toe of the Grgur Ninski statue located just outside the palace walls, which is rumoured to bring good luck! 6. Climb Marjan Hill for beautiful views across the city of Split.
