Join us on a 6-day sailing passage from Thursday Island, Australia to Tual, Indonesia aboard our Jeanneau 45 sailboat! 🌊⛵ It was an unforgettable offshore journey filled with epic ocean moments and serious mechanical challenges. We were visited by dolphins riding our bow, caught nothing but sharks, and watched breathtaking sunsets—but things took a turn when our gearbox failed mid-passage. With no propulsion, we hipped up the dinghy and towed our sailboat to anchorage. Real sailing, raw and unfiltered. Whether you're dreaming of sailing to Indonesia, want to know how to handle a broken gearbox at sea, or love wildlife and sailing adventure content, this short captures it all. 📍 Route: Thursday Island, Australia → Tual, Indonesia 🎣 Wildlife spotted: Dolphins, sharks, flying fish ⚙️ Issue: Gearbox failure mid-ocean 🛶 Solution: Hipped up the dinghy to tow to anchorage Subscribe for more real-life sailing experiences, DIY boat fixes, and life at sea with @SeafolkSailing #sailing #sailinglife #sailingaustralia #offshoresailing #oceanlife #liveaboardlife
