Every cruiser has niggling boat repair and maintenance projects which they can live with while they’re getting on with life, but when you’re about to make a long passage to a new country, you need to attend to every one of them.
And, yes, you heard correctly, the countdown has begun towards our next destination.
We are heading to a brand new place in Indonesia, but will not be revealing where that is until we arrive there.

As you can imagine, after all this time “stuck” in Sabah we are beyond excited about the prospect of spreading our wings.

Thank you for your interest in our journey as we sail and travel this beautiful Earth.
