We popped over to see our friends at Learn2Sail Portugal this week to see the Broadblue 346 in action. The Algarve is an amazing sailing ground and it’s great that Audrey II is used in their sail training programme. Sunshine and sailing; what could be better? Here's a link to our friends catamaran course. It's also a great way to test sail a catamaran if you are thinking of buying one in the near future. https://www.learn2sail.com/our_broad_blue_catamaran.php If you are loving the look of our Broadblue 346, take a more detailed look here: https://www.broadblue.com/cruising-catamarans/broadblue-346 You can also discover more about our Broadblue and Rapier Catamarans on our other channels: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/broadbluecats/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/broadblue_c...

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.
