2nd Longest Passage & Sail Indonesia Rally FAIL / Sailing Aquarius #61

We took off from Papua New Guinea for our 2nd longest passage - 1,500NM miles during which we will cross Great Barrier Reef via Torres Strait!
We sadly sail next to Australia as it's too expensive and we don't have enough time... But I guess "you can't have it all" but we have to be happy and appreciate where we get to go.
This time is quite unusual - we join Sail Indonesia Rally! We wanted to try it out; get some organized "ready to enjoy" treatment, see local dances, try their food and get to meet more sailors. And of course - help with Indonesian visas and check in process which is not simple.
We arrive to Kupang - the capital of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara and we are greater by the City and the Mayor himself! That was something!!!
We get to meet local people and new sailor friends, enjoy city tour and delicious foods... And we find out that our Sail Indonesia Rally is having issues and can't guarantee any of the itinerary nor anything else - like visa extension or other guidance or support... Oh well. I guess the Rally Failed just as it started...
It's not our first time to sail on our own, just the challenge is - we did not do much of research on anchorages, visited places, provisioning spots and here very little people speak english and maps are famously incorrect...
I guess we will roll with punches! :)

Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Stay tuned as next Friday 12PM EST we release a new video 🎥
