Hundreds of miles of rough sailing only to be turned away from our dream destination

Our journey begins with a quick scuba dive to untangle a fouled anchor. Then we set out on a rough multi day upwind passage with a lot of tacking against wind and currents. After several hundred miles of sailing we finally reach Wayag Raja Ampat, one of our dream destinations. Unfortunately we are told we must leave after just one day! We make the most of our short time there exploring the beautiful islands and reefs. We then continue against the prevailing wind to Waigeo under storm jib and find some class A scuba spots. After some minor boat maintenance we take our boat through the breathtaking ancient Kabui strait and explore the narrow caves with crystal blue water. I build some parts for the boat using 3d printing and carbon fiber. We visit the historic Wallace hut. At night we encounter a glowing flying fish that jumps into the cockpit and sprays bioluminescence splatters across the deck. After experiencing propeller trouble in Sorong we abandon our marina plan and anchor outside of town. The visit a papuan house museum and dress up for the part.
