Port Blair to Langkawi | Part -2|Engine trouble, rough weather & exhaustion | S03E29

In the second part of our passage from Port Blair to Langkawi, things got even more intense. With just three of us onboard SV Reeva, battling 25-30 knot winds, 3-4 meter swells, and a surprise engine failure mid-passage, this leg tested every ounce of seamanship and resilience we've built. As weather conditions worsened, our engine refused to start-fuel wasn't reaching the engine. With the boat rolling 30-40 degrees in high seas, we had to replace fuel filters, clean the mini de-bug system, and troubleshoot under brutal conditions. Meanwhile, Kaeya kept watch, managing sails and tracking wind speeds like a pro. With no real-time weather updates (our Iridium Go was inactive due to a SIM issue), we were relying on 72-hour-old forecasts, adjusting course toward the Similan Islands in Thailand. After three grueling days, we reached the Similan Islands, picked up a mooring, and finally got some much-needed rest. From engine repairs at sea to full moon sailing, this passage was a masterclass in liveaboard life, seamanship, and teamwork.
