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.

How to tie a Double sheet bend. #katknots. ▫️ The double sheet bend joins two ropes of different thicknesses well especially if they are wet. Also known as the double flag bend. Make sure both working ends are on the same side when completed. It's stronger that way. ▫️ Form a bight (loop) with the thicker rope. Keep the end up top. ▫️ Thread the thinner line through the loop as shown and then round behind the thicker rope. ▫️ Pass the working end of the thinner line round the neck of your loop. Then tuck the thinner line back under itself twice. It's quicker but not as strong. ▫️ An example of when you might use this knot: attaching a heaving line to a mooring line so it's easier to throw ashore. ▫️ #multihulls #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #sheetbend #katamarans #flagbend #doublesheetbend
