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
Navigating the Tuamotus requires floating your anchor chain to avoid bommies. Deploying balls prevents fouling ground tackle, but it's a tricky dance to keep them clear of the chain and bridle. #AnchoringTips #SailingLife #BoatLife #sailing Check out our latest video here: https://youtu.be/6i5VvRy799U In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we leave Marquesas and sail to the Tuamotus Archipelago. We make an adventure out of rainy days, learn how to float our chain, enjoy learning about bommies, and discover the most healthy, big and beautiful coral reef we have ever seen! While sailing full-time and living aboard our catamaran, we continue to learn what AWEN and her sails like and the pacific passage offers many opportunities improve. We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life. #sailing #liveaboard #floatinganchor #catamaranlife #outremer52 #fulltimesailing #topsailingvideos #boatlife © Sailing AWEN
