Upwind Sailing to Indonesia (Sailing Nandji) Ep 106

Bonita is back on Nandji, I have overstayed my visa... Must be time to sail! Of course something goes wrong... https://www.sailingnandji.com This week on Sailing Nandji, Bonita returns back to Dili, after a 3 week trip to Australia for medical and family reasons. Given the all clear from anything life threatening, she hurried back to Nandji and we set about getting everything in order ready to leave. We get a Social visa for Indonesia, Load up on food and water and chase down our new Lithium batteries from ReLion. After a little confusion with paperwork, of course nothing is easy, we finally get our batteries on board and set some sails south. Our destination, Kupang, in Indonesia. Not having the luxury of waiting for a weather window as I had overstayed my visa, we head to sea in a 200nm upwind sail. Arriving to Kupang, the Nandji tradition of something going wrong upon arrival continues... NANDJI"S NEW MOTOR We reached our target for getting Nandji a new engine! YEW! Thanks to everyone who helped us on this mission to upgrade Nandji and prepare her for next years adventures! Over 200 people contributed and we now have a new engine currently being shipped to Malaysia to await our arrival! https://www.paypal.me/SailingNandji We are a young couple with a dog, who with no sailing experience, bought a yacht, got it blue water cruising ready and set off sailing around the Pacific! We have been in Indonesia for a couple of months cruising and our now high tailing to Malaysia for boat work. We departed Australia 18 months ago and have since explored some amazing countries, met some amazing people and experienced cultures, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of nowhere, spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and had the time of our life doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades! SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL. https://www.youtube.com/c/frothlyfesailingnandji CLICK THE BELL to know when NEW Nandji videos are up!
