121 - Social Gilis near Lombok

In this episode we mix boat projects with some social time. Bouncing between the southern "Secret Gili Islands" of Gili Asahan and Gili Gede, as well as the more northern Gili island of Gili Air, we get to hang out with other fun cruisers including Don and Wally on Koro Vita, the crew of Viento del Mar, the Youtubers Sailing Ripple Effect on their boat Sailing Seabattical, Hank, and more. Ripple Effect organized a social gathering they call a Floatchella, inspired by the Coachella music festival. Unfortunately the plan of doing a large raft-up was thwarted by strong gusty winds in the anchorage area, so it ended up being a marina pool party instead. We also do a bit of snorkeling, scuba, skurfing/wakeboarding, and get to try a surfski kayak. And exploring southwest Lombok by scooter. Gili Air has no motorized vehicles, so horse-drawn buggies and bicycles are common. Boat projects include: - in-water changing of sail drive collar anodes (zincs); - rewiring an air conditioner blower unit to make the fan speeds work properly; - inspecting and re-hoisting the jib-sail, which had been sent out for a repair.
