We sail to a complex of reefs in remote Sulawesi, Indonesia and discover a great anchorage at a tiny island. Here we are enthusiastically welcomed by the villagers, who tell us we are the very first westerners ever to visit their stunning home. They proudly showed us around their small but truly beautiful island where seaweed farming and fishing are the central way of life. After an all to short stay, we sail further north to Bojowe Harbour on the Sulawesi mainland where we race to anchor before a fierce monsoonal storm that strikes with big winds and driving rain. Did we make it? Let’s call it a draw. We have just begun our exploration of this, the world’s 11th largest island but already we have fallen in love with sailing this remote area populated by such warm, welcoming people. Thank you so much for watching. You’re the guys and girls who float our boat and keep us motivated.

February, 2012 - I interviewed charter race boat captain AJ Smith in Saint Martin. We had just completed a 1,500 nautical mile sail from Savannah, Georgia aboard Swan 48 "Bella Luna."

We had been exploring the reef system near Walker Reef (across from Hinchenbrook Island). This Tiger Shark had been cruising in between the bombies and came past our boat. So naturally, Josh felt inspired to jump in the water with this big guy. It was more scared of Josh 😬
