Adrift 150 Miles From Help With A Busted Motor & No Wind - S5 Episode 134

After an outstanding but all too short stay in the Togian Islands of Sulawesi, we reluctantly set off for the first hop of our return trip to Luwuk expecting a typical equatorially windless and therefore boring motor to our next anchorage. That was until our engine blew its top, leaving us becalmed and adrift, literally in the middle of nowhere, a hundred and fifty miles from a mechanic. Add in a very tight deadline to extend our Indonesian visas and it’s a case of STRESS LEVEL TEN!.
