On our very first day of this special whale trip, we were beyond fortunate to witness 36 Melon-headed Whales logging and bow riding right next to the boat midships! 🛥️🌊 Watching them glide through the waters of the Solor-Alor Archipelago was nothing short of magical. ✨ This is just the start of an extraordinary journey through the whale corridors of Eastern Indonesia, expertly guided by the marine ecologist, Benjamin Kahn. Along with wildlife expert and filmmaker Francois Odendaal. Don’t miss out on the adventure of a lifetime! Join us on our next The Seven Seas expedition and get up close with these incredible ocean giants. 🌏🐋 📱 +62 81 138 600 78 📧 info@thesevenseas.net 🌐 www.thesevenseas.net #TheSevenSeas #WhaleExpedition #EastFloresAdventure #Alor #Flores #WhaleWatching #DiveTrip #MarineLife #BucketList #DiveIndonesia #ScubaDiving #Divers #MelonheadedWhale #Whale #LiveaboardDiving #LiveaboardDivingTrip

🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [42/52] 🪢 ELMER the hydrogenerator 💙 After sailing to Porto Santo (3 days) we figured there was no way we would make it across the Atlantic without stressing about the charging percentage of our batteries all the way. Those three days had been windy, cloudy and during the hours the sun was out it was always behind the sails casting minimal light on our solar panels. To make it, we had to run the engine to keep the batteries from flatting out. Something we absolutely hate!! Running the engine when there is wind to sail is a big NO NO for us. So we ordered this hydrogenerator, had it delivered to the Canaries and installed it in Teneriffe before our first Atlantic crossing. And it’s been our best friend ever since! The main reason why we like it so much is that it keeps on doing its thing; day and night, mile after mile. It just works! And except from having to clean it from sargasso now and then, it doesn’t require anything and you don’t notice it’s there. For offshore sailing I would say it makes absolute sense to have something like this to take the stress of battery charging off your mind. It’s a great complement to our solar and the alternator on the engine. And as we don’t like the bulkyness of wind generators, this is the only thing that we found suitable. We are not sponsored by Remoran to say this, but compared to what we have heard about other hydros breaking and being noisy, we are really glad we chose this one! So seriously - Get one, you won't regret it! The code LINNEASALE5 will give you 5% off any order placed on the Remoran website and free standard DHL shipping within the EU. (Other shipping alternatives are available but excluded from the discount.) The code is working until Feb 28th 2025. If this was useful for your boat life, make sure to save the post for later 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to share this with a friend who should find our page to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼
