Join us on an unforgettable journey deep into the heart of Borneo’s National Park, as we travel by traditional riverboat in search of incredible wildlife. Along the way, we encounter wild orangutans, the unique proboscis monkey, and many more fascinating animals that call the rainforest home.

But the adventure wasn’t easy — our river route was blocked in several places by invasive reeds, making the journey both challenging and rewarding. Watch as we navigate through nature’s obstacles to experience one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.

🌿 Highlights of this video:

Traditional riverboat ride into Borneo’s National Park

Wild orangutans in their natural habitat

Join us on Part 2 of our Dominican Republic road trip adventure! 🚗✨ As soon as we turn toward the south coast, the scenery changes dramatically—the lush green mountains slowly fade into a dry, desertic landscape that feels like a whole different world. From coastal views to unique towns along the way, every stretch of road reveals another side of the island’s incredible diversity. 🌴🌊🌵

I left the beautiful Tuamotus.. kind of. This atoll, Makatea, is technically still apart of the Tuamotus, but its a 'raised atoll' unlike the flat atolls I have been spending my time at!

Sailing from Maine to New Hampshire we stopped at Isle of Shoals, approximately 6 miles off the coast. Miles of Maine Island Hiking, Rock scrambling and Shoreline exploring.

Isle of Shoals, consists of 16 islands, the largest being Appledore, Star, Smuttynose, Malaga, White, Seavey, Lunging and Duck.

The most intriguing part ? There was a true Crime Murder on Isle of Shoals Smuttynose Island back on March 6,1873. Two Norwegian immigrants were brutally murdered in cold blood. Maren Hontvet, her sister Karen, and their sister-in-law Anethe—settled into the only occupied home on the island, unaware that by dawn, two of them would be dead.

Shortly after 1 a.m., an intruder slipped inside. Karen was strangled in her bed, Anethe was butchered with an axe, and only Maren managed to escape, barefoot and terrified, into the icy darkness. She hid among the rocks until daylight, clinging to life as her family’s world collapsed. Anita Shreve wrote a 1997 book about the event and in 2000, the film “Weight of Water with Sean Penn, Catherine McCormack, Elizabeth Hurley, and Sarah Polley was released.

Special thanks to the Portsmouth Athenaeum for preserving the crime's weapons and circumstantial evidence.

Episode 439 : Amazing Jungle Caves, Dead Lithium and Solutions

Hello Friends,
On this episode I head ashore to the small island of Kelayang to explore its towering rocks and caves. It was like stepping into the movie Plant of the Apes! The jungle, moss, ferns and rocks meeting the sea and coral rubble!!!! Remarkably beautiful!

The next morning I awoke to my last remaining battery glitching out, likely its BMS also damaged by the near lightning strike. I then accepted the kind help of my friends on SV Shameless https://www.youtube.com/@sailingshameless5672 who kindly lent me some cash allowing me to get a back up lead acid battery.
