Sensational Trade Wind Sailing! | Ep 335

After what felt like months of bashing against wind and waves in the Banda Sea, we finally turned south-west into the south-easterly trade winds. After 120 miles averaging 5kn, we would be racing across the Flores Sea towards Lombok. And guess what? Trade wind sailing is GOOD! ☝️If you enjoyed this video, let us know with SUPER THANKS! ☝️🙏 Support our work - PATREON | FTBMates | Rum Fund - https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Join the fun on DISCORD! https://discord.gg/H9jmztupTx 00:00 Leaving Bau-Bau, Sulawesi 02:15 Passage planning assistance 🙏 03:11 TRADE WIND SAILING 05:17 Taka Bonerate National Park 🎞️Visit Take Bonerate National Park - https://youtu.be/hN8HNLjWZyM 07:30 How to enter a reef 🎞️How to navigate through reefs - https://youtu.be/JcoWAhuYOnI 08:55 Perfect sailing into the Flores Sea 14:10 Sheltering at Benteng Thank you for watching, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE, it really helps us get noticed.
