Our last night in Bau Bau. Sulawesi is fast becomi Our last night in Bau Bau. Sulawesi is fast becoming our favourite place ever! Where next?
What do you do when the wind's on the nose and the What do you do when the wind's on the nose and the waves are coming straight at you? Duck into the nearest sheltered anchorage, of course. And if luck's on your side, there'll be a welcoming dive resort with outstanding reefs right there on the doorstep. Thanks to everyone (especially Andres, top guide/instructor) from @tompotika_divelodge for making this a serendipitous interruption on our journey south. If we get the opportunity, we'll be back. 🙏🤿👌
We condensed thirty hours of sailing into twenty m We condensed thirty hours of sailing into twenty minutes, encapsulating what it means for liveaboard cruisers to sail in new waters far from home. Link to 306 in bio...Overnight sailing in southeast Asia is particularly challenging, not least because the waters are full of obstacles that you can't see in the dark. Like logs.During this passage, we left in thunder and lightning and sailed for 150 miles across a shipping lane in ever-changing winds. We aimed to reach Tolitoli (our destination) in the morning, because we prefer not to arrive in the dark at new anchorages.#sailing #sulawesi #nightsailing

Just a few #scuba snaps from Maratua Atoll, part o Just a few #scuba snaps from Maratua Atoll, part of the Derawan archipelago. Loads more about this remote and unknown tropical paradise in episode 305 (link in profile). The reason we've spent the last nine years here in SE Asia is because not many others venture this way. If you watch our videos, you already know it is spectacular, and (mostly) unspoiled. You’ll be forgiven for having never heard of this place, least of all visiting the islands. They are difficult and time-consuming to travel to. Way off the beaten track for social media influencers or glossy travel blogs, they don’t get the big bucks or publicity of similar places like the Maldives or the Caribbean. And yet this archipelago is right up there on our list of top places we’ve visited. The long and arduous journey to get here was made worthwhile, though, by some of the most beautiful views we have seen. There are no private islands or luxury resorts here, instead it's rustic chalets built under the trees on the seashore, serving tasty home-cooking and Bintang beer. There's no reason to dress up because all you ever need is beach clothes and flip flops. Have you been to #Maratua yet?@maratua_divecenter a PADI dive school. @paditv

Looks lovely, doesn't it. But look a little closer Looks lovely, doesn't it. But look a little closer and you'll see the scariest channel we've navigated in 16 years. With the engine on full revs, we barely made 1 knot as we pushed through eddies, overfalls and a cascading counter-current. The full story's in our latest episode, link in bio. #sailing #indonesia
