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.



We're finally sailing! Without any official sailing school lessons or courses, we have been teaching ourselves how to sail. We both started from zero without any sailing experience when we bought Ujud. Over the time of ownership, reaching this point has been a relatively slow process in comparison to the many sailors we encounter in person. We live aboard our small sailboat and it's taken time to gain confidence about the very many things that sailing involves. It's nice for future us to be able to look back to today's achievement as a couple, we are sailing with both the mainsail and the Genoa. Both sails are reefed down so that we're not overpowered. Our teachers have been: Petr Šimon Jana Šimonová James Khoo Wan Azuar Bill Robinson AU Wei Eric Oh #24hourtravellers #selftaughtsailors #sailingcouples #sailboats #hallbergrassymonsun31 #boatlife #sailMalaysWe're finally sailing!
