On returning to Australia they acquired a Whitby 42 ketch, renamed her 'Our Dreamtime' and after cruising Australia's Great Barrier Reef extensively are now sailing in SE Asia. Total sea miles to date = 24,273 NM.

You be the judge.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oDvtvtLU4cTH-MJX7M3cFcOoEKU3s8Sn6Rn0eg3eUqJblUvFMgaHo_m5ihqG8YsSgNccZnHKuogc1WI9xRruFO6jqX6Bx9Wg4C5zIxzo_v6nYQnouylBnmyZoTDA9p8zPXO9CaWxf1Tj1f4bW18tjT3Z0OgTaCeCy2R9Z8DgprCjAzuh0dkr8KnphgtA/s2240/55A0B060-88DD-4A6F-823D-3E035145A8BC.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oDvtvtLU4cTH-MJX7M3cFcOoEKU3s8Sn6Rn0eg3eUqJblUvFMgaHo_m5ihqG8YsSgNccZnHKuogc1WI9xRruFO6jqX6Bx9Wg4C5zIxzo_v6nYQnouylBnmyZoTDA9p8zPXO9CaWxf1Tj1f4bW18tjT3Z0OgTaCeCy2R9Z8DgprCjAzuh0dkr8KnphgtA/w640-h360/55A0B060-88DD-4A6F-823D-3E035145A8BC.png" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 18.36px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px; text-align: left;">Known as the land of over 17000 islands, this wonderful country has so much to offer its visitors. You can have any type of experience in Indonesia, whether you want to spend some time on one of the many beaches in Bali, experience a chaotic city like Jakarta or roam through the jungles of Sumatra. The country has such diversity when it comes to cultures, traditions and languages.</span></p></span><p></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;">Understanding the cost of living in Indonesia can be a tricky task for anyone contemplating coming to this vibrant Southeast Asian country for any length of time. The fluctuations in the economy, differences in regional costs, and contrasting urban and rural living standards can make it tough to get a grasp on your potential expenses. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;">Indonesia has its own currency, the Indonesia Rupiah (IDR). Cash is widely and mainly used throughout the whole country, so it is vital to have some on you at all times. There is a number of ways to access cash, through AtM, Money Changers or Cash deposits using companies like Western Union.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipgN_NbvquZlYG_B2POglqXfCCD2L-o-e4QDiXvdekmUbjFGtqfuErmGgANYevhCSi5Mt4SSTMzeH0laZa_2JMYeiv_9ghqU8ub2XZgMBE-WzrLRWY05WLqknMDgEdltt22-yJq48knPV8_rmsz15pJdZFDD7nNqsmMXsJHyOFheEGgpY-dbKMF6XqMcqh/s586/A906DFA5-6AE3-4840-AE0E-C631B71A9D66.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="586" data-original-width="536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipgN_NbvquZlYG_B2POglqXfCCD2L-o-e4QDiXvdekmUbjFGtqfuErmGgANYevhCSi5Mt4SSTMzeH0laZa_2JMYeiv_9ghqU8ub2XZgMBE-WzrLRWY05WLqknMDgEdltt22-yJq48knPV8_rmsz15pJdZFDD7nNqsmMXsJHyOFheEGgpY-dbKMF6XqMcqh/w586-h640/A906DFA5-6AE3-4840-AE0E-C631B71A9D66.jpeg" width="586" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Best thing about ATM’s here is they are air-conditioned 🥵</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;">ATM’s usually have a very small withdrawal limit. Sometimes the maximum is only $100. That’s fine if you only need it for basic groceries and eating out. But when you need to purchase fuel, hire cars, pay for boat repairs, go sightseeing, pay for visas all using cash. You are running to an ATM all the time and unless you have a good deal with your bank, the fees will kill you.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;">Credit Cards are seldom used in Indonesia away from main tourist areas.

Breakfasts are usually onboard and it is usually fresh fruit yogurt or a smoothie using the same ingredients. If we are underway at lunchtime of course we will be using our ship stores. However if we are anchored up, Lunch/dinner are usually in a local Warung. Food in Indonesia is a delightful blend of taste, culture, diversity and affordability. It reflects the rich tapestry of the country's cultural heritage. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(71, 71, 71);">Shopping in Indonesia traditional markets is the way to be budget conscious, this is where farmers, fishermen, gardeners, and those whose products are connected to the natural resources sell their products directly to consumers with much cheaper prices.

More formal restaurants also usually charge 10% tax and 5% service charge so be aware of this. Meals are not big compared to western standards and this is probably a good thing for your health. But if you find the portions to small an extra serve of satay isn’t going to break the budget.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ahfmKzjRosAo0U6ctYz7UGXmema_ep0nObQyY-v0VF0sL4TXzPMl0qYPv4Azudn7CL6zFqe4ANAu0-MFWg0hN-7TaxoAAlmx6coc8v_Y9MaaxEzV0dRnVZuilo1yDskJNxcGnL4xsz1apHEwWpLixill2KyotTv20f523Fokzttv4pNEIBOOndlci3oO/s1080/307555BF-BD0D-44C1-90E0-4487C02185AD.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="608" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ahfmKzjRosAo0U6ctYz7UGXmema_ep0nObQyY-v0VF0sL4TXzPMl0qYPv4Azudn7CL6zFqe4ANAu0-MFWg0hN-7TaxoAAlmx6coc8v_Y9MaaxEzV0dRnVZuilo1yDskJNxcGnL4xsz1apHEwWpLixill2KyotTv20f523Fokzttv4pNEIBOOndlci3oO/w360-h640/307555BF-BD0D-44C1-90E0-4487C02185AD.png" width="360" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">There are a number of restaurants that do this.<br />They bring out all of these dish.

Once you get to the Tourist areas the prices can double if not triple. In Tana Toraja our lunch was $30, but that night at a beautiful restaurant it was $20, there is also no rhyme nor reason on how things are priced. Here in BauBau this week for lunch we took our Visa Agent, his daughter and ourselves out to lunch at a very nice restaurant for fried whole fish, chicken goreng all served with rice and freshly made juices total $16.

But we must say, cooking western food is not their forte, so don’t be disappointed if it’s not what you are expecting. Rob had steak tonight on a sizzling hot plate, it was served with fries and a salad for $7. When I asked if it was ok “he said it was tasty” but for $7 he had his fix of steak. On the other hand I had a beautiful meal of tender satay on hot coals rice and accompanied by sambal and pickled vegetables for $4, an expensive dinner out compared to our Bakso for 2 for $5.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGah4l9u6cgAHkg8IB_a2XIKqemnafiIBZdJ8E1IN_zfhA-vW31xGehB-xPUVAANeWkTiMmTOtYAURzueXYwpeP1JieYZULO32Kv0eF6OBZK5hBhpC0VIFEY7tBZN3IXDxoGHckOlpotD7nOc6QkcChi5zML7qixDuRMuQ-WiqCdyMnIZtDH7liKW_TTR/s747/23D04B64-F5CC-453D-9119-9E68BEDC1316.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="747" data-original-width="420" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGah4l9u6cgAHkg8IB_a2XIKqemnafiIBZdJ8E1IN_zfhA-vW31xGehB-xPUVAANeWkTiMmTOtYAURzueXYwpeP1JieYZULO32Kv0eF6OBZK5hBhpC0VIFEY7tBZN3IXDxoGHckOlpotD7nOc6QkcChi5zML7qixDuRMuQ-WiqCdyMnIZtDH7liKW_TTR/w360-h640/23D04B64-F5CC-453D-9119-9E68BEDC1316.jpeg" width="360" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bakso - Meatballs in broth with noodles.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18.36px;">Alcohol isn’t as big in Indonesia as in other Southeast Asian countries. Yes, you can still purchase it, but a good proportion of Indonesians don’t drink alcohol at all. Why is that? Well this is the largest Muslim country in the world. So Alcohol is not part of their culture. Away from the tourist areas of Bali and Lombok you will not find alcohol on the drinks menu, you best get use to ice tea and juice to accompany your dinner. You will also have difficulty buying it in bulk as takeaway. When you do find it be ready for the cost.

We have sailed across the northern shores of Seram, taking in some amazing destinations that you only see on postcards. Then we skipped across to Pulau Manipa, a magical stop with pristine reef under turquoise waters. Now we are heading to an Island that changed global history forever.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWzvv00cHXiOdll3ywhiElU20aCyEL7EqgUzfXSCwgTVMeA1XmJY-a45BAimpHSoO85gBrNrb5yxOPAaDU3Sw2Ej7QMR6V6x6Km3Tcaxabc7RtuWdwbSvJ26LGrVT0ZlP7NRyXu4-O0UXJ-T0edl5_CbXFag1H2gzhcmBSQ7vnFuCJ3Yf1uQZxvkbeRoHZ/s640/23A519DD-5FC5-4551-BB2E-141BBDC05659.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="434" data-original-width="640" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWzvv00cHXiOdll3ywhiElU20aCyEL7EqgUzfXSCwgTVMeA1XmJY-a45BAimpHSoO85gBrNrb5yxOPAaDU3Sw2Ej7QMR6V6x6Km3Tcaxabc7RtuWdwbSvJ26LGrVT0ZlP7NRyXu4-O0UXJ-T0edl5_CbXFag1H2gzhcmBSQ7vnFuCJ3Yf1uQZxvkbeRoHZ/w640-h434/23A519DD-5FC5-4551-BB2E-141BBDC05659.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Hidden amongst Indonesia's myriad of enchanting islands, it continues to echo with the stories of a time best forgotten. </span><span style="font-size: 18.36px;">This island and its people have seen such turmoil over the centuries. In the 16th–17th centuries the Buru territory was claimed by the rulers of Ternate island and by the Portuguese; both claims were however symbolic, as neither party controlled the island but only visited it on trade matters. Buru traditionally grew cloves, and this lucrative crop was a source of much of its trouble.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu5pGJYFnb_j6L6TlTByszEKfSjvCDQjQmwgOEX8BWbu2hKKnyWmQh5uA4BacFDu4PG2hCuUtlYItwj6rIAd20GEmYH7JLRLRZE_NvHcNcKIzxUf0lU5772MSu-Z7_qegBK6AkgRf3Ne2wUjy5WncmUIpOinwrATumjd0MbGgpc4tMlzJm6D9I0gubZn-N/s286/DD430054-A3DC-4359-8429-0FE27D60BB2F.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="176" data-original-width="286" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu5pGJYFnb_j6L6TlTByszEKfSjvCDQjQmwgOEX8BWbu2hKKnyWmQh5uA4BacFDu4PG2hCuUtlYItwj6rIAd20GEmYH7JLRLRZE_NvHcNcKIzxUf0lU5772MSu-Z7_qegBK6AkgRf3Ne2wUjy5WncmUIpOinwrATumjd0MbGgpc4tMlzJm6D9I0gubZn-N/w640-h394/DD430054-A3DC-4359-8429-0FE27D60BB2F.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Indonesia was the Dutch West India Companies central hub that controlled the valuable spice trade</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Between 1658 - 1942, the Dutch East India Company and later the Crown of the Netherlands colonized it. The Dutch authorities oppressed the locals and forcibly moved numerous local villages to the newly constructed island capital, Namlea, in Kayeli Bay to work on clove plantations. Then the island was occupied by the Japanese forces between 1942 and 1945. Following the war, Buru remained under Dutch influence and in 1950 became part of independent Indonesia. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVwVcjo3bruSrAZXGaNqi8VtwC8oGWdPqSITKP09cJGoOiwUP9h_ds9QujbHdxq1my9doJwlefEbJ53Y_igqXRRWeoM4JH5QXjXQ1hlX7B5m8T3YSfEFTkTZjwcRcKMk0TpxHIOtIlMyOF3LSg4QrAj4_qVJQyoNEMfU_29D_1KQJn0Qb1Yo-9lqk062C/s700/FF0E295D-3A8F-46C5-BEE2-3189CC467407.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="700" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVwVcjo3bruSrAZXGaNqi8VtwC8oGWdPqSITKP09cJGoOiwUP9h_ds9QujbHdxq1my9doJwlefEbJ53Y_igqXRRWeoM4JH5QXjXQ1hlX7B5m8T3YSfEFTkTZjwcRcKMk0TpxHIOtIlMyOF3LSg4QrAj4_qVJQyoNEMfU_29D_1KQJn0Qb1Yo-9lqk062C/w640-h494/FF0E295D-3A8F-46C5-BEE2-3189CC467407.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Remnants of the fort once in the hand Dutch West Indies Company </td></tr></tbody></table><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">You would think the people of Buru could now relax and get on with their lives, until, they were part of a larger plan for the Suharto era of 1960s–1970s. Buru was an exile for Indonesia's "communist" political prisoners. These were not just the revolutionaries, but the teachers, journalists, artists, intellectuals, and politicians, a generation of Indonesia’s brightest minds taught to be silent.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Upon us reaching Namlea, the bustling capital of Buru Island, we discovered a vibrant town brimming with activity. The majestic Mosque overlooks the shore, and the daily market is just a short stroll from the dinghy dock. Our visit was to meet up with the Wonderful Indonesian Rally after a couple of weeks exploring remote areas of Indonesia. While we took a more scenic route, the Rally took a more direct route to Namlea. We were excited to reunite with the rally participants and partake in the festivities.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Namlea is situated on a vast bay, with a backdrop of majestic mountain peaks. While not a typical tourist spot, it provides an authentic experience of daily life. Strolling through markets, exploring winding streets, and interacting with locals, mainly by engaging in a game of charades, made our visit memorable. Although not a destination to seek out, Namlea offers essential supplies like fuel and fresh provisions. Our dining experience at a local seafood restaurant was exceptional, with fish so fresh they came straight from the sea.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsL8SsY11QGIhyphenhyphen0Ame2cKn2wuvtQXoW9dS-60Ss1rFaIAB_hWXBgyzSUlu-gFBvspCySFnrKBbVToqobFqd8sMurVYNassmFFHlT93eRx1DkWjUenbAYQLHTyz30PjUQwpbX_hBrErHrtMIbEr9XkuJ1HpSsrC-IVZeYEA0vKHaul1lAJFFgO2rPMuY8I/s1620/A35F4477-23F2-47B5-B361-3FFAE9D799F9.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="888" data-original-width="1620" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsL8SsY11QGIhyphenhyphen0Ame2cKn2wuvtQXoW9dS-60Ss1rFaIAB_hWXBgyzSUlu-gFBvspCySFnrKBbVToqobFqd8sMurVYNassmFFHlT93eRx1DkWjUenbAYQLHTyz30PjUQwpbX_hBrErHrtMIbEr9XkuJ1HpSsrC-IVZeYEA0vKHaul1lAJFFgO2rPMuY8I/w640-h350/A35F4477-23F2-47B5-B361-3FFAE9D799F9.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Today walking through the energetic capital Namlea, it's hard to imagine the tragedies this island has endured. The Becak (rickshaws) shuttle people back and forth along the foreshore, evoking a nostalgic vibe. Besides that, this city resembles many others in Indonesia. Street vendors sell their goods, Warungs buzz with locals enjoying delicious cuisine, and the traditional market boasts the freshest of produce and a variety of Indonesian delicacies.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsfPUlEsiGFBoMZL70-kuQBfGPMyt_UumSzipsddZzC9ST8rT-yEv9bT119RmMmEgAA45T3W_EXrFSQ0a_eRoGW6CKyHYBboNHXgoq97inCUuzJCvfeDh5PxaL6JEIXiuxGrJ_TsYMs4he9OxfbhlfauUeXZfdZmFwM8V_ZegdAymfZ2bGJuSAM6ad3vM/s1620/84066FE8-CF4D-4AEA-BB38-AEE2F9D1B7FD.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1620" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZsfPUlEsiGFBoMZL70-kuQBfGPMyt_UumSzipsddZzC9ST8rT-yEv9bT119RmMmEgAA45T3W_EXrFSQ0a_eRoGW6CKyHYBboNHXgoq97inCUuzJCvfeDh5PxaL6JEIXiuxGrJ_TsYMs4he9OxfbhlfauUeXZfdZmFwM8V_ZegdAymfZ2bGJuSAM6ad3vM/w640-h352/84066FE8-CF4D-4AEA-BB38-AEE2F9D1B7FD.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz7onNXjOcKItgjIDdig_3laVD2ra4zW9Uo2dgd_T1l_o7vJnhVsWyrzxLhjv5gjS3e0aadSzR_jKD3Xvdi9O0nsF477t8mW6Ed3A7c0prrIgM9TWmaxa2RuvqVWaFIKM2lgRvVi5LwKFw-0-nz67NKeQ1sW3FM3w3TDAPT4H_Z4x4tgw0aeDEUEOerpPn/s1530/F7D83EC6-AF1F-4039-A3BA-D4E3E68DA936.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="1530" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz7onNXjOcKItgjIDdig_3laVD2ra4zW9Uo2dgd_T1l_o7vJnhVsWyrzxLhjv5gjS3e0aadSzR_jKD3Xvdi9O0nsF477t8mW6Ed3A7c0prrIgM9TWmaxa2RuvqVWaFIKM2lgRvVi5LwKFw-0-nz67NKeQ1sW3FM3w3TDAPT4H_Z4x4tgw0aeDEUEOerpPn/w640-h424/F7D83EC6-AF1F-4039-A3BA-D4E3E68DA936.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0xPYVCpoqFM3ygwwBDE4hYpe3FReL82hfDYXPIyAOyy6SvaTyZZjpr72r5hmAF9a3_F3B9NuxhMEgvCZJ6PlYzJyDgPosr0VOa_ZLpriiF0KfECXU3_70mJTFHTuvi6V__-REd3nZmF9p_zQy8kWEnCVOILTBQ2h2NDcN9Zza57Jtn6lyXko_nJxfWtip/s2881/0552C135-D39C-4628-85A0-34644F984338.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2409" data-original-width="2881" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0xPYVCpoqFM3ygwwBDE4hYpe3FReL82hfDYXPIyAOyy6SvaTyZZjpr72r5hmAF9a3_F3B9NuxhMEgvCZJ6PlYzJyDgPosr0VOa_ZLpriiF0KfECXU3_70mJTFHTuvi6V__-REd3nZmF9p_zQy8kWEnCVOILTBQ2h2NDcN9Zza57Jtn6lyXko_nJxfWtip/w640-h536/0552C135-D39C-4628-85A0-34644F984338.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We indulge in beautiful meals at local restaurants and take coffee in a cafe. The bustling seaport city, known for its stunning Mosque overlooking the waterfront, is a hub for exporting spices that were once highly sought and fought over by the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch. Today, the locals can cultivate and sell their own spices. The spice trade has long been a vital aspect of life in the Maluku Islands, predating its discovery by the European market. Centuries before, the Chinese had established trade relations with the islanders.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKj96IFURlmmiHU4UUm3L-hjOsenufg5PyPo7zvyLrQhIWcGVEE5lSvAzxscFnN0cbBBsaguDLIYo79RoHElKbisSDOQMKnS5OIJGO51ahyvmTTKVruJkKN7MlluItT_1cgZO28AcWerFHoKYTxeONye1xbBc6laYKDTCbX1B3nxCraRQhE-RtaGeE1Rb/s1620/3EEADC57-D98E-40B5-BB78-DC310C3FECBB.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="892" data-original-width="1620" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKj96IFURlmmiHU4UUm3L-hjOsenufg5PyPo7zvyLrQhIWcGVEE5lSvAzxscFnN0cbBBsaguDLIYo79RoHElKbisSDOQMKnS5OIJGO51ahyvmTTKVruJkKN7MlluItT_1cgZO28AcWerFHoKYTxeONye1xbBc6laYKDTCbX1B3nxCraRQhE-RtaGeE1Rb/w640-h352/3EEADC57-D98E-40B5-BB78-DC310C3FECBB.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">However we were interested in finding out more about the period of history on the Island when it was in lockdown. We had trouble finding anyone that would speak of the past, it is certainly something that is not spoken about.

Over 500,000 lives - some argue up to three million - were extinguished at the hands of the army under Suharto. The world watched silently as a genocide unfolded and Australia, Indonesia’s closest neighbor, was complicit.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">This massacre led to a turning point in Indonesian history, casting a long shadow over their vibrant cultures and politics.

Bakso has become one of my favourite dishes to eat, even in the steaming hot weather. It is a simple Indonesian dish of meatballs and soup. Like many other dishes in Indonesia, it grew out of Asian and European influences in the country. Throughout Indonesia, there are many variations of bakso, but all of them include three main ingredients: broth, noodles, and meatballs.</span></p><p class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="direction: ltr; font-size: 18.36px; unicode-bidi: embed;"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWrgWnrwEYIYel0jbM-CLLHugJbUs6xGDGZtifHduNEyBOn5sbdIpc7Dj_3ohjiWc5ZG4Bbg-CaRhtlmXeQZ76cJ-nYyAsipD3V7PDN6zXUW2Sg-QSBGGOrgdtnb9j_NZEi3x2bM77XrAAll7-rMr5Tc4qwgUxmIWsUX1Uc2TEeqoqREyBsZtGO_bSkI/s982/F6EEDC0E-6B8C-43B8-AA63-6F0B7790D30B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #104b79; display: inline-block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="982" data-original-width="905" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWrgWnrwEYIYel0jbM-CLLHugJbUs6xGDGZtifHduNEyBOn5sbdIpc7Dj_3ohjiWc5ZG4Bbg-CaRhtlmXeQZ76cJ-nYyAsipD3V7PDN6zXUW2Sg-QSBGGOrgdtnb9j_NZEi3x2bM77XrAAll7-rMr5Tc4qwgUxmIWsUX1Uc2TEeqoqREyBsZtGO_bSkI/w590-h640/F6EEDC0E-6B8C-43B8-AA63-6F0B7790D30B.jpeg" style="border: 0px; height: inherit; max-width: 100%;" width="590" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; clear: both; text-align: center;">Find the recipe by following the links to Our Galley.</div></div>Rob and Karen Oberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10301516161788915535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210461039477374674.post-77197660696360351822024-03-05T09:40:00.002+01:002024-03-11T14:13:34.513+01:00Our Ten Year Love Affair with a beautiful Canadian Lady of the Sea<p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Time flies when you are having fun and these words definitely describe the last decade.

Karen was in charge of finding suitable boats in our price range and organising appointments with brokers to show us over boats. We had a definite budget, a “must have” features list, a “that would be nice list” and a definite “don’t want” list. However we were open to view any boat in our budget.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">On the day that had been arranged with our broker Anita to view 6 boats, we were walking down the Marina dock to inspect the first of 6. Picture this, broker leading the way and us following, when Karen starts to give the run down of attributes about the first boat we are about to view, so far all sounded good, then she said “However she has a few things we definitely DON’T want, namely she’s a ketch and she’s navy blue”. I’m not sure what our broker thought at the time but she could definitely feel the temperature change and a certain cold wind starting to blow down the dock from Rob’s direction.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">It just shows that if you walk into a situation with an open minds the world can tilt in your favour. Yes a navy blue ketch has become our floating home and pride and joy for the past 10 years. She has safely carried us and will continue to take us for many more years to amazing destinations that you can only do if you have a lady like her.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">So why didn’t we want a ketch? We had only sailed one ketch previously and her owner implied that there were too many sails to deal with and we only ever sailed her “jib and jigger” (mizzen and genoa). We incorrectly assumed and miss understood the way ketches can be very good for shorthanded sailing. We also had the image that ketches are old school and not very “sexy”. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">So navy blue boats! Yes we have all heard the story they are hot, they take extra work to look after especially as the paint oxidation can make your boat look very unloved. Thankfully Our Dreamtime was built in Ontario Canada and was insulted for the cold which of course reduces temperatures in the tropical heat as well and yes we do need to be more careful with coming along side a dock or local canoes banging against the hull. Her glorious navy blue is still deep blue and apart from a good wash and polish occasionally she still looks as beautiful as the first day we saw her.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Thank you ‘Our Dreamtime’ for safely carrying us thousands of nautical miles to experiences we could never have imagined. May we sail many more miles together and continue living everyday to the fullest. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;

So …. What do you do if your boat anchor gets stuck? </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">You can bring the chain up as far as is possible,“Tail it off” on the cleat, taking a turn around the base and holding taut, don’t cleat it off, using the movement of the sea to help, as the bow dips down bring in more chain. This sometimes is enough to release the anchor from the seabed.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">If that doesn’t work, with the boat still directly over the anchor, cleat the anchor line at the bow and gently idle forward into the wind. This will pull on the anchor in the direction opposite from which you originally set it. Continue moving forward until the anchor breaks free.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEO0uzQlnLFss6JO09yGG4_Nodu-xcmishA59IOF5an0XbJyVNLEPMBTDDklyLTSQfR5ixJHLLNNizg7fI1ZJX81WcZbVK1LV6-uimzhQoKh37nW-nmSKwNrAygDNSRHzjH8kfAY7hpxh5ZaR2ws7zUXvC_lVpE1javei5UcI5xgVZadHKX8gACudlpUTe/s367/C22FFE64-92E3-4D75-81F2-66D4D1A7D894.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="137" data-original-width="367" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEO0uzQlnLFss6JO09yGG4_Nodu-xcmishA59IOF5an0XbJyVNLEPMBTDDklyLTSQfR5ixJHLLNNizg7fI1ZJX81WcZbVK1LV6-uimzhQoKh37nW-nmSKwNrAygDNSRHzjH8kfAY7hpxh5ZaR2ws7zUXvC_lVpE1javei5UcI5xgVZadHKX8gACudlpUTe/w640-h238/C22FFE64-92E3-4D75-81F2-66D4D1A7D894.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Or not. Chances are that, if the water’s too deep to go swimming, you’re going to end up abandoning your anchor at this point unless you’ve prepared for this eventuality in advance. You can release the anchor chain, but firstly secure the chain or rope to a small buoy or float to mark the position. You can come back later with a diver and retrieve the anchor.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Another option is an anchor-retrieval ring and buoy. Snap this assembly around the anchor line and drive past the anchor at about 45 degrees. The float and ring, which serve as a pulley, will move down the chain. The ball’s buoyancy combined with the boat’s pull can free a stubborn anchor. Keep driving until you see the anchor ball break the surface astern. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKko4jl_L59D_Vp3KmF4Kju-sH-XByvUla6XRdDp3wQGj4_oaDmCGzLxoP5kvwe7aXi-EA6DwJ3Ns9BaOiaJPAwEga1xv3hoKPBEMU8pZPza1Y53D1S09RA44O7NBjlcB4EV9gq0zEE1zmD7sMPSBUowtvpOOjRyC4XpcNeJqColQmxLEWH0qKviXsK5W/s600/612809CB-8DAF-4518-BE37-617D237B17F5.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="600" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKko4jl_L59D_Vp3KmF4Kju-sH-XByvUla6XRdDp3wQGj4_oaDmCGzLxoP5kvwe7aXi-EA6DwJ3Ns9BaOiaJPAwEga1xv3hoKPBEMU8pZPza1Y53D1S09RA44O7NBjlcB4EV9gq0zEE1zmD7sMPSBUowtvpOOjRyC4XpcNeJqColQmxLEWH0qKviXsK5W/w640-h286/612809CB-8DAF-4518-BE37-617D237B17F5.jpeg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju4VqSVnpl7trtQU-svDElrcOIXYYOLz5yFp6lBnVF1_xs_w268FTakNFNqwqk_uTolhqjOmSrj5-Veb8vdstWHmiJyff7pLBsbDsuTrd4MV7pEQ-gJK18g6RJ3e7_5dQ65tpNTIGEScVElyvbiFsQahwVnQRlwF6NTqwQhe1mvbYdQnejjhcs8VPMmkQC/s1420/71BAFDA8-4BEC-4DA8-81B5-633AD8DD376A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="548" data-original-width="1420" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju4VqSVnpl7trtQU-svDElrcOIXYYOLz5yFp6lBnVF1_xs_w268FTakNFNqwqk_uTolhqjOmSrj5-Veb8vdstWHmiJyff7pLBsbDsuTrd4MV7pEQ-gJK18g6RJ3e7_5dQ65tpNTIGEScVElyvbiFsQahwVnQRlwF6NTqwQhe1mvbYdQnejjhcs8VPMmkQC/w640-h246/71BAFDA8-4BEC-4DA8-81B5-633AD8DD376A.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The option we prefer is an anchor ball with a trip line. We rig a tripping line to our anchor before we drop the hook. This secondary line is attached at or near the anchor’s crown – frequently to a ring or hole on the anchor specifically for fitting a tripping line. The other end of the line is tied to a float which, when released with the anchor, will float more or less vertically over the anchor’s position on the bottom. If the anchor gets stuck, hauling on the tripping line changes the anchor’s angle to the bottom and will usually free it. You will have seen that we use this system on a regular basis, and in many of our YouTube episodes we discuss how and why we use it.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUCj3c37HE_t_zMU8RzgJWY8pHubeiJzSxfPUQHvodt6SH23zauAtP_WBhtH_C264fLbJZcsrMG2dAPikJiL7ywrSBB5fYbAUe3bnK-aPsQ8AOLRvHyZ0JXm5a5gK0zezhIuKcSSOJPtDOOR9j6GItj-EvVOcVoDt2xZ_zcGnQuZYY6KfNP3Smct8swQal/s2048/E4F70945-87CF-4DA3-B642-681EC9C12175.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1034" data-original-width="2048" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUCj3c37HE_t_zMU8RzgJWY8pHubeiJzSxfPUQHvodt6SH23zauAtP_WBhtH_C264fLbJZcsrMG2dAPikJiL7ywrSBB5fYbAUe3bnK-aPsQ8AOLRvHyZ0JXm5a5gK0zezhIuKcSSOJPtDOOR9j6GItj-EvVOcVoDt2xZ_zcGnQuZYY6KfNP3Smct8swQal/w640-h324/E4F70945-87CF-4DA3-B642-681EC9C12175.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">So why didn’t we use it in this anchorage?

The archipelago includes thousands of inhabited and uninhabited volcanic islands, small isles and tiny islets. What really stands out though, is the scenery in Central Maluku. The chain of forested mountain islands is fringed by immaculate beaches and secluded bays, turquoise lagoons with overwater bungalows, virgin coral reefs; and all that is concluded with perfectly-shaped volcanoes in the background – a perfect holiday hub, if you can get there! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you would like to see the moving pictures of this amazing destination <a href="http://tinyurl.com/DreamtimeSailEp87" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">http://tinyurl.com/DreamtimeSailEp87</a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8l32x1OqRjX18pE5cojpnC8NFZYy9TpIHGKnLwuFgg9ksjbICt6fS8Y0XYAwe7Yp0n5Jre6_CeGfqon0XEo0igAjM8-8ybKUzJf7W0jliyoP18yZs_X4q8CSChS7lHDh7TWJZNPtvNZ5zlD_68gSDBHHBQ72SPF6xt855ySFmZ5ASx0PXs2nSmBsi17qC/s1602/003D248E-877E-46BF-8BA5-0C5368ABE195.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1602" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8l32x1OqRjX18pE5cojpnC8NFZYy9TpIHGKnLwuFgg9ksjbICt6fS8Y0XYAwe7Yp0n5Jre6_CeGfqon0XEo0igAjM8-8ybKUzJf7W0jliyoP18yZs_X4q8CSChS7lHDh7TWJZNPtvNZ5zlD_68gSDBHHBQ72SPF6xt855ySFmZ5ASx0PXs2nSmBsi17qC/w640-h320/003D248E-877E-46BF-8BA5-0C5368ABE195.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Back in the days, the famed ‘Moluccas’ was a place where a great wealth grew on the trees – quite literally. Mace, nutmeg and cloves were found nowhere else in the world, which reinforced the Dutch colonial power. These days, even though the people still harvest these commodities, it is rather the Polynesian look that draws the visitors. Indeed, some of the islands in Central Maluku could easily compete with Tahiti. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOvJDxSUxmLklKXJATVJJfIT9svGq0U3v7Bpf8whjnoxuPfVcmDecJUY_qTmQihnY-4se3uoaKTBHSz9__zxw-HtPThOVWcLpP6BMSn-GexPUVJyvCGJJsHHl8sjyYzGAulImra9V8_em29YILJewr7GIrG1oP3V5cMkB8ESgveEgcNb93kFqkGprZkNI/s1024/AB4C81D0-A5DD-45B0-8D0D-840941A191D4.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOvJDxSUxmLklKXJATVJJfIT9svGq0U3v7Bpf8whjnoxuPfVcmDecJUY_qTmQihnY-4se3uoaKTBHSz9__zxw-HtPThOVWcLpP6BMSn-GexPUVJyvCGJJsHHl8sjyYzGAulImra9V8_em29YILJewr7GIrG1oP3V5cMkB8ESgveEgcNb93kFqkGprZkNI/w640-h426/AB4C81D0-A5DD-45B0-8D0D-840941A191D4.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />This is an image of Ora Beach our next stop don’t miss it!</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We will be travelling the island chain from Kei Kaceil, day hoping to the largest island in the region, Seram. It lies north of the well know city of Ambon, a mountainous island Seram is home to the Malukus Regions highest peak, Mount Binaiya (3027m). It is also a major karst area and has Indonesia’s deepest cave Hatu Saka. Pulau (Island) Seram, although it ranks in the 100 biggest islands in the world, is one of the least known. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We’re on the north coast of Seram, which at 340 kilometres long we won’t be sailing in a day. It is probably an Indonesian island you’ve never heard of. One of the pure joys of our lifestyle is that we can choose to venture to little known areas and discover them for ourselves. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">With a rugged interior of jungle-swathed mountains, it was home to headhunters until the middle of the 20th century. As part of the Wallacea region between Asia and Australia Seram is an extremely diverse region where plants and animals from both continents can be found. Included in the Manusela National Park is endemic bird species so there is plenty on offer for nature lovers and adventures alike. Cockatoos, parrots, and hornbills are just a few of the exotic bird species found in the forests, not to mention wild durians falling off the trees. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="700" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzcXtsQpk76RYR41uliXed8iGIpfkp1iWudU0oMcFToi-U8vbJSGoCLr3P56udeoyh-cdOdxz8IQYMdzpfX8cQOyCifvu1UbO5s9-vShaHmQk_tPgQWFsbBkVA83EckmGfPZmknSbJhUF9AIG9IZzEb5-mU4Y_30KPcrlj2g52bFPZJsM0MCreS7IBegq6/w640-h360/98E84888-4C8F-453F-B95A-FB1BB98A5B14.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Established in 1997 the park is approximately 1890 square kilometres and includes mountains, coastal lowlands, swamps, caves and karst formations. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>One of the jewels in it’s crown is the beautiful Bajau village of Sawai.

The Bajau people who inhabit Sawai arrived on their floating homes from the Sulu Islands region in the Southern Philippines. And because of their nomadic sea life, this tribe eventually spread into the waters of Malaysia, and Brunei. You can now find villages in most areas, from Eastern Indonesia, such as in the waters of Maluku, Raja Ampat, Sulawesi and to the northern part of Kalimantan. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">In Teluk (village) Sawai the Bajau people have built simple stilt houses using the coral reef as the foundations, these homes sit proudly above the still waters where they continue to be a seafaring tribe. Their “floating” homes keep them connected to the sea at all times, though their distance from conventional mainland also keeps them disconnected from modern civilization. Perhaps, this divide is part of what allows them to maintain their way of life and ancestral traditions despite the influences of globalization. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuVAodBEqsSv5Q_V44KkZMETw1w-v7GCCt8GyGQMA_4v08Mjhp6wr1IP3SEsdKeRLXJgUerQI3pMOcH0Vc98kXbNyvurAC3W3txS2DfHbihZLoSy0KZdK_zFX7F8UV4WwZ1g9XxA_jdhUY_t5-BzJxjMlzIpEWT98_J_fiBbt-jLFkSk2NnbKL4dJzh1T/w426-h640/15856840-6B9E-45FF-A341-FD38A0AEACFA.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">As we started our journey down the “fiord” type entrance towards the village, the weather started to close in.

We had studied the charts both Navionics and the satellite images of where we thought a anchorage spot might be. Rob kept saying to me, don’t be disappointed if we can’t anchor here. My thoughts were, we haven’t even seen the place yet, let’s just wait and see. Well if you want to believe Navionics we could of anchored anywhere.

It’s the oldest bajau villages in Maluku dating back 400 years.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Not only is the mountainous setting awe inspiring there are several beautiful small islands surrounding the entrance to the “fiord” These islands add to the beauty of the sea surrounding Sawai, with their white powder beaches and coral fringing reefs.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Arriving in the village the next day we weren’t mobbed by the teenagers asking for selfies like we had been in the Kei Islands. Everyone was reserved, just going about their daily chores. There were sideways glances and a few laughs, but generally it was still a very welcoming feel, even if it wasn’t flocking mobs. We asked politely if we could take “Photo” where there was always a smile given. We wandered the streets seeing new homes being built, women cooking in a communal outside kitchen. Children running around and laughter ringing out. All was very content and happy in this very simple way of life. The call to prayer started which ebbed all other sounds and a sense of calm swept over the village.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="921" data-original-width="2048" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRzAFHcdbdmEjR9LZG6Yb_NgcQuVEUB64Ti0CSQ5hGncHIM7coxrYgYQbNv6JlLwm0CBvDIxhkFWrQzkbd21ha-Vb8Kdn3ZufqyzijXokpTWBGmsyfd30HXeDA_Rndh_r6Wm2oAnr21NatOpRd-6FE5fYddOrOgq1-xjyoe-JMVvDFB515YkLNWmJHKUR/w640-h288/CC4155EB-6A6A-4BA9-9439-0EFDAF9E9317.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">A unique feature of this village is their “giant swimming pool”. This pool is a source of fresh water for the village and it is located in the centre. The fresh water springs from the stone boulder at the bottom of the cliff face in the middle of the pond. The sparkling water in the pool is crystal clear. The tribe have built a tiled pool with steps leading into it. It continuously flows through the village creating a centre point for all matter of chores. We understand early in the morning it is bathing time. Then there is a period of time that is set aside for wash of clothing, however it seemed like the children had all day to swim. Some wanting us to join them in the cool mountain spring water. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEUt1o-dzD6aPFNs24kBXRc8bpNYVmEDvGfITGpcJ09DAPQqqPRH3-0VV8cKQyA8eVtuZ9ev8p6VQZNOME3a2O1K93W3MwUOM7CeGAzGr2nmrbib4C7kmAry1Pzu0e1sBOyaMoHbODyARcMikjb66tCs9JUdHfMisMfc3l-ZyHL7f38wA1CNfcZWNX-Npa/w426-h640/9EC2AA6E-92E4-48F5-AA69-3D286A80276B.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZV0yTFbFd3voQ0SYqSYMos6kYRuL2azvbCVeZiLjszBq-3JDCDi9EycL2MrizDT3kfNsaqa0fGyWL-LdMmNIor1CNfmuw7jJ73ZfxK6q5KDoG7ol2vBB0gacXz0dN-jEwROFqzQaeVvw28EEf3RgFhVhP00eCgpfmgpYlZeVL-LJHRI_oLDXNvtmjfk2W/w640-h426/991B6B94-1685-4BF4-80F9-C5FBE562CD1D.jpeg" width="640" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><br />The swimming pool is a central focus for daily activities </a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOZZ6jluiRzHooLXNHEjGgRBOZvYnvXmcjs2gDOzes6uvt70j5HtKK0ySKhn9yHMztqLLvMXf6yIP87Fy1P75LgtqWyW7vhUDNi2HWwo9v6e1QljEcwGSFYzDf1FG8dYS-hDFVp4srQ5CYEXwBiEINGTJk5Oy-LxE7e-Kp3nbeqdpPrm5WjIiCb1zh_K9/w426-h640/1891F94E-84E5-4780-A3F8-FB1DCC8A4F26.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Over the years the village has evolved. With the road now cut through the National Park, they do receive some tourism in the form of adventurers who wish to hike in the National Park or wanting to climb Mount Binaiya. Small home stays have opened and we ate at one very small resort offering beautiful food served on decks over the water. We could of literally stern-to-moored Our Dreamtime off the balcony. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com.au" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwODuAOzQ2qTIk7EesXE54q3SJepGz54dDOES2kSaC7D384QH0fJfiRI78SvlM1Dj1XhGlNQd9iUqJ7qxPtWbLQMD6vSBaW2I3M6WCjGW-xRtHVCb9h5FnA1_sRMA51qaQeuOPfnft84ApeBdJx8aKG-orePwmoOZTcXDwhq7H4LFUpjvBlpYFbNLNCnN/w480-h640/BA658D25-C4A4-407A-8848-50AD8F72FE84.jpeg" width="480" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamtimesail.blogspot.com.au" target="_blank">Beautiful meal at a small home stay </a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">A couple of the biggest changes for the village is electricity and concrete. The village enjoys 8 hours of power from the national grid each day and the areas closest to the island now have cement pathways.

Every slab reef sailor knows a horror story about in-mast or in-boom furling that is enough to make them steer well clear, while those that have furling mains wouldn’t put to sea without one. However, many slab reefing systems suffer from problems that make reefing a time-consuming, energetic and crew intensive chore. Perhaps the most common problem is where the halyard is led aft to be handled at the cockpit, but everything else is handled at the mast. This works fine for well-drilled offshore racers, and for day sailing with numerous strong crew members, but can be a different matter for those sailing short handed.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYREYK62clyL64IZ_YKOxSIp3ozdGAjusy6PEvqaoXyKsnwBXjiX8abR8YMOi4xnz0jgnabeauOTgG0jEPPyv0lTkoetscnBDI1zxKRa26DXx7_ikxiviIKCGk4pVDCUQJRxXbB9hfNmQMIDjXNqoMSDlse1cK2nCOiSadBnPpCzFaivOURi-g_OYv5joB/s2160/9E471156-9F39-4268-A4E9-BB5BC108880E.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1209" data-original-width="2160" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYREYK62clyL64IZ_YKOxSIp3ozdGAjusy6PEvqaoXyKsnwBXjiX8abR8YMOi4xnz0jgnabeauOTgG0jEPPyv0lTkoetscnBDI1zxKRa26DXx7_ikxiviIKCGk4pVDCUQJRxXbB9hfNmQMIDjXNqoMSDlse1cK2nCOiSadBnPpCzFaivOURi-g_OYv5joB/w640-h358/9E471156-9F39-4268-A4E9-BB5BC108880E.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We control everything from the protection of the cockpit</td></tr></tbody></table><span class="s1"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBR4_nqyIZXTszNEiAG14Un0DGq3SJ5pmm9kbhkwoNe86ZRzwCAVtqpXHdslt3Wuz-J0GO1YqGYzml9hCKTk4GJMwMjrrdWhy1p6kN2lv2EUY5GUGrYjWlumKaUeLO-u9kxWYKGx8knBeW9SD7B6JkLlJzg4lhJY85yltlRW9uC5Jedia7gePs_MG0FP8/s2160/25E1423A-5508-4BCE-95AE-8C638B215911.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="2160" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBR4_nqyIZXTszNEiAG14Un0DGq3SJ5pmm9kbhkwoNe86ZRzwCAVtqpXHdslt3Wuz-J0GO1YqGYzml9hCKTk4GJMwMjrrdWhy1p6kN2lv2EUY5GUGrYjWlumKaUeLO-u9kxWYKGx8knBeW9SD7B6JkLlJzg4lhJY85yltlRW9uC5Jedia7gePs_MG0FP8/w640-h354/25E1423A-5508-4BCE-95AE-8C638B215911.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fully battened main gives us 5 reef points</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFR3wZybtQplbF52b-Rmzt7A_QI8NkgG9DD5ATCy02t89T3XKKlQSPPAbARSQ8YVk6qC23FjrXy90A325gW2oukrLLNUBAdll_wqz28cvLO31xNBgJW8X2HVg2D__ESPtsWwDWMMP1DgzSmI-fKdcxsRz630uTEblihaIS5_bVAAE0axUzw3obUNSaz2B/s1613/CF0A6CE1-AE5B-446C-BCA6-7CC877D5232B.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="1613" height="610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFR3wZybtQplbF52b-Rmzt7A_QI8NkgG9DD5ATCy02t89T3XKKlQSPPAbARSQ8YVk6qC23FjrXy90A325gW2oukrLLNUBAdll_wqz28cvLO31xNBgJW8X2HVg2D__ESPtsWwDWMMP1DgzSmI-fKdcxsRz630uTEblihaIS5_bVAAE0axUzw3obUNSaz2B/w640-h610/CF0A6CE1-AE5B-446C-BCA6-7CC877D5232B.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our clutches and winches are all in the comfort of the cockpit </td></tr></tbody></table></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">There is little doubt that furling mainsails are gaining in popularity, even for serious offshore cruising boats. In 2018, 38% of boats sailing round the world in the World ARC had furling mainsail. (Latest figures I could find) Hallberg Rassy reports that almost all new owners buying boats over 40ft opt for furling mainsail systems, with Discovery reporting a similar trend. So has the reputation of furling mainsails been unfairly tainted, and are they more prone to user error, or have the systems ironed out the glitches?</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">We definitely feel they have been wrongly accused of failures. Having sailed with all methods and having problems with them all, the only one that was a quick fix was the in boom furling system. Many furling system problems that we have discussed with their owners, normally come down to lack of maintenance, old sails or incorrect use of the system. </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Why did we believe and still do believe it is the right option for us. </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">One person can quickly and easily raise, reef, or furl the mainsail without leaving the safety of the cockpit. Just unroll the mainsail from inside the boom furler and go sailing. If the wind comes up, simply reef the mainsail by rolling it back into the boom furler to the desired height. With Leisure Furl, each batten becomes a reef point, so for us we have 5 mainsail reefing options. </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1jdaRVZDl9jOXP0QWbxB5sf5psaImkjzJkJ-5uvKLuTHL3jQAyuoaOoiWuuCwoaVPPJDDH7qMm0wnrqO0YExBc-J13Xh0O2cemVGnev1rFMIO3WQHl0A30z5WzfLfjZWe8MASR6TX4JYt_wM6B9D85cc17bDML6N4wfiztaF4ZKrXT9ZNNLbNTb_jeicE/s1138/093FB39B-F064-4307-80AB-DBF13939818E.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="1138" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1jdaRVZDl9jOXP0QWbxB5sf5psaImkjzJkJ-5uvKLuTHL3jQAyuoaOoiWuuCwoaVPPJDDH7qMm0wnrqO0YExBc-J13Xh0O2cemVGnev1rFMIO3WQHl0A30z5WzfLfjZWe8MASR6TX4JYt_wM6B9D85cc17bDML6N4wfiztaF4ZKrXT9ZNNLbNTb_jeicE/w640-h634/093FB39B-F064-4307-80AB-DBF13939818E.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The sails are coming up to 20 years of age.

When you’re done sailing, there is also no need to get up on a rocking and dangerous cabin top to flake and sail tie your mainsail, or to stuff it into a large and unsightly lazy jack pack. With Leisure Furl we simply push the button on the electric winch, roll the mainsail back into the boom furler and pull the integrated sail cover closed.

There is nowhere that we go without a camera in hand. Taking stills and video is what we do. Our everyday life is captured from sailing, baking bread or to hiking to the most gorgeous waterfalls.

A camera is set up to capture us walking toward the camera, then reversed to see us walking away. Of course we need to double back each time to change the camera angle then do the walk again and then back again to finally pick up the camera. Continuity must be correct, we can’t swap sides, if we were holding hands we have to remember to do it on the reverse angle and we need to step off on the right foot.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Around the next bend maybe opening to an awe inspiring vista. Double back again find the right camera angle, frame the view, us doubling back again to now walk into the scene. It would be magic if we could do all of this spontaneously, but unfortunately that’s not the truth. Each frame is set to give you the viewer the feeling of being with us whether it is onboard or taking a walk to a stunning waterfall.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFL6JVw9wGKHuMn-LVFczJB7EsEJGnt5lQgBXGscNlkHohc-bf5gPlg0hrOec87NBEsiR7x47BVlHyWGhECC4Tsi-LX-nOMNaECE2LVbkun5BzKTt2w1PstuOY43jXbP0Y708499fASyI0qedp65RErXVM_QXnlPtNeUUqqTdJYWP9bXEPObGI9IlT6iw-/s1440/24BCB413-8BEC-4B58-B355-3A4C1FFA2E38.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1440" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFL6JVw9wGKHuMn-LVFczJB7EsEJGnt5lQgBXGscNlkHohc-bf5gPlg0hrOec87NBEsiR7x47BVlHyWGhECC4Tsi-LX-nOMNaECE2LVbkun5BzKTt2w1PstuOY43jXbP0Y708499fASyI0qedp65RErXVM_QXnlPtNeUUqqTdJYWP9bXEPObGI9IlT6iw-/w640-h360/24BCB413-8BEC-4B58-B355-3A4C1FFA2E38.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Onboard the boat we have two stationary cameras that allow us to go about our daily life without the need to hold and frame the camera. This has allowed us to have those spontaneous moments allowing you the viewer to see us in our natural state, going about whatever we are doing. It’s like having two camera operators onboard with us. But they do have their limitations and of course this is that they don’t move with us. So in post (edit) we need to cut a lot of vision to make it flow. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ9zsq0jEYDW_lOOu9WHxBwXci9y6L6G9AGfg_2VV_MVGMpkXfOMq8tWihgEw16P4ePYxjbTMww6IKr0ZSi8Vg7l1tggB8o8fhW1KBJiyluf3QDi8un50f2cJMIE7LDoAy8YxnTJONaOV8sK3dQashr3Tvs2eDkbuINeLXjacpBe-kLFHBAm4PTrzJBu33/s1440/57734F44-B32E-4DEB-86A3-3A31651DC59A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1440" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ9zsq0jEYDW_lOOu9WHxBwXci9y6L6G9AGfg_2VV_MVGMpkXfOMq8tWihgEw16P4ePYxjbTMww6IKr0ZSi8Vg7l1tggB8o8fhW1KBJiyluf3QDi8un50f2cJMIE7LDoAy8YxnTJONaOV8sK3dQashr3Tvs2eDkbuINeLXjacpBe-kLFHBAm4PTrzJBu33/w640-h360/57734F44-B32E-4DEB-86A3-3A31651DC59A.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">One camera that has helped with this is the introduction to our kit if the 360 camera.

What is referred to as a “wet” market is where you will find protein, fish, chicken and red meat and they normally operate from very early in the morning until mid morning where stocks are very low from 9am. You will also find this the case for the fruit and vegetable markets. However contrary to this we have found a couple of night markets. For the “wet and traditional markets” I suggest you to go in the morning (7-8 am) so it will not be too hot, take small notes and learn the basic numbers so you can understand the price. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span style="font-size: 18.360000610351562px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4k6Fd2owTOK2eJWNjm6ygd_szZ5n-GF5H7GPBDXmF1wkXQtOledGRr97svaWctWEFnJa9pR-M7_pYxEGvR-krDjT5qoKn31b359GAAhZ5qw9Z2jxEToLWAEPjP1cY7JZopH1B2tqW0KgE5wdaZj1Wacel4_0uFl7Pk_eTJPyZEWCLGZvxzViQMrGtcROU/s6000/B3D0DE96-BB33-49B0-BF40-3BF03E291B14.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4k6Fd2owTOK2eJWNjm6ygd_szZ5n-GF5H7GPBDXmF1wkXQtOledGRr97svaWctWEFnJa9pR-M7_pYxEGvR-krDjT5qoKn31b359GAAhZ5qw9Z2jxEToLWAEPjP1cY7JZopH1B2tqW0KgE5wdaZj1Wacel4_0uFl7Pk_eTJPyZEWCLGZvxzViQMrGtcROU/w426-h640/B3D0DE96-BB33-49B0-BF40-3BF03E291B14.jpeg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">All sorts of seafood can be found.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YBzNaNlqVlCEricHCX_l5DQIC7Niag_h45y6VHCVowWJ8p7XP9aNB6Ixd8DMXme2PyQy36JWZjC-3RHy_uSYiMZN2gEZ5obkzoEavKrZ2WcAbl4mjADm5f_5z0N4DiWEgNqYzA2i-13Qe9jekIEN0aSvugAtyewxK1BRs5OSPkSIOz52Y0cmIpHMSccz/s1382/E1FE9D39-8170-4349-BBD6-898F84C12727.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="903" data-original-width="1382" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YBzNaNlqVlCEricHCX_l5DQIC7Niag_h45y6VHCVowWJ8p7XP9aNB6Ixd8DMXme2PyQy36JWZjC-3RHy_uSYiMZN2gEZ5obkzoEavKrZ2WcAbl4mjADm5f_5z0N4DiWEgNqYzA2i-13Qe9jekIEN0aSvugAtyewxK1BRs5OSPkSIOz52Y0cmIpHMSccz/w640-h418/E1FE9D39-8170-4349-BBD6-898F84C12727.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">If you want protein you must be willing to head to the “Wet Market”</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;">There are no beautifully arranged goods in refrigeration here.

We have found carrying eggs in this manner to be a dangerous occupation via, bike/bus, walking, dinghy ride in sometimes choppy weather, so we have reusable egg cartons. We get strange looks when we present them to be filled.

The market is a part of social life, where everyone gathers daily to buy their supplies. These activities are a means of community activities and social network. The the atmosphere at traditional markets is lively. Vendors and buyers chat with each other because they see each other regularly. There is a kind of friendship appeared between vendors and their loyal customers. It is loud, there are no price tags, you must ask the price and then haggle until “best” price is found, whereby both seller and purchaser are happy.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZViIP2adDrXsO58C5frxknV3Yb30BgT-Kwii56grfvTjcRKjttgLdpgesG95Nk286urt3StM6fbE_L1i04Bkb9vbITfcrKP-FAmIUl0AO9AZKyy3uW10c-Kt-jLi7ERSzgGIMDyPN1ubaoC5Ce43F6_egSKVwniElH4GvA8Dwr-0TD-eZWAvGiQI3xd8H/s4332/4E276DE8-F6B6-47C1-A683-EFD981E4CA7F.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3118" data-original-width="4332" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZViIP2adDrXsO58C5frxknV3Yb30BgT-Kwii56grfvTjcRKjttgLdpgesG95Nk286urt3StM6fbE_L1i04Bkb9vbITfcrKP-FAmIUl0AO9AZKyy3uW10c-Kt-jLi7ERSzgGIMDyPN1ubaoC5Ce43F6_egSKVwniElH4GvA8Dwr-0TD-eZWAvGiQI3xd8H/w640-h460/4E276DE8-F6B6-47C1-A683-EFD981E4CA7F.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A larger selection of produce beautifully displayed.</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Everyone is very polite in their bartering, sometimes it’s quite comical to watch as the facial expressions and body language tell you more about the transaction than the rapidly spoken words.

They aren’t purposely (well I suppose they are) ripping you off, but if you know your numbers and a few pleasantries followed by a big smile you can normally get a good price, and $5 for 9 pineapples not bad but very “good” (bargus) price compared to Australia. </span><span style="font-size: 18.36px;">Such is life being the only westerner in the market with red hair, I sort of stick out.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Z0x_bRmHVmQ-WeVORiMCtcQszefH1-7ilNhl0-YgXFO3j_m0zU2vm1vAObxh2qzy4QES1XnBesK-lsPKtAi5Ta4YenxMSCGdfH4LCT9dfE3VrBZgnznBfzF5nqLakwtXFhdpEMuw6nIUMQ3LdAzKxFhDseuShDDa-tIyuxXExnENOCg6FXUB3MkwY6Be/s1420/E1F3124A-C1B1-4B93-AF68-AE61D9CC967C.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="1420" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Z0x_bRmHVmQ-WeVORiMCtcQszefH1-7ilNhl0-YgXFO3j_m0zU2vm1vAObxh2qzy4QES1XnBesK-lsPKtAi5Ta4YenxMSCGdfH4LCT9dfE3VrBZgnznBfzF5nqLakwtXFhdpEMuw6nIUMQ3LdAzKxFhDseuShDDa-tIyuxXExnENOCg6FXUB3MkwY6Be/w640-h306/E1F3124A-C1B1-4B93-AF68-AE61D9CC967C.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Night market Wanci Wakatobi</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Our favourite night market so far has been Wanci in Wakatobi. As soon as the sun is setting, the night market in Wanci comes to life. It offers a great choice of the freshest seafood, vegetables and fruits. You can see the day’s catch spread out on wooden tables, in buckets or on the floor. Yes whole fish just lying on the floor. A wide variety of snapper, tuna, barracuda, crabs and the foodies delight, sea urchins, are all for sale. The sea urchins are best enjoyed raw or slightly steamed and are offered at an unbeatable price. In front of the market, grilled fish and a variety of traditional dishes are prepared for you to enjoy on the spot or to take away. My favourite were the ladies selling all sorts of pastries, cakes and donuts, they were deLISH. I would always turn up with a small gift for the children of these stall holders, and a few extra donuts I found were always placed into my bag. The night market is located at Marina Bay close to where we moored the boat, it opens around 4 pm in the afternoon the night market can certainly entertain you for a few hours even if you are not purchasing.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKUbUFcVD2nJ5RBIStG0H8qMlc7WhaM-KtErGEfyH4CXlivai6Lzh60Jr1aGbtn8cSEqFDlWLvGrmPuiPFb1KufF-oasCZfFjZz8YtyjZn0zFcysrKzVLRpFmPF-qa9o-RRgRUg2_ugHuE2oIslSFqt0iKAbi4qR2pd76KXYHwAVc-me_uc2bqGKf7a3u/s580/EEBED52A-DDBD-4BD3-9DA8-DAD520D3E476.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="580" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKUbUFcVD2nJ5RBIStG0H8qMlc7WhaM-KtErGEfyH4CXlivai6Lzh60Jr1aGbtn8cSEqFDlWLvGrmPuiPFb1KufF-oasCZfFjZz8YtyjZn0zFcysrKzVLRpFmPF-qa9o-RRgRUg2_ugHuE2oIslSFqt0iKAbi4qR2pd76KXYHwAVc-me_uc2bqGKf7a3u/w640-h402/EEBED52A-DDBD-4BD3-9DA8-DAD520D3E476.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Everything is weight with antique scales, no need for new electronic versions </td></tr></tbody></table><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s3" style="font-size: 18.36px;">After purchasing our food at the markets, I clean all the fruit and vegetables in a solution of 1:5 vinegar and water.

This removes the salt and solids to produce fresh water. The next step is to pump fresh water into dedicated desalination or fresh water tanks. Finally in reverse osmosis, the last step is to disperse concentrated (salt/solids) overboard. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWKJyqbGQ-Bl2lU4Z6ul-TIk1mdVYPryVLPwir2Nzs_tRu_RPYIZ6xj-MQzRqfEKsK5S1POszNUbHbrnojUdnohqrpM3BWi76joLQT7FlXzX6nHhWXHdG4fLJpfcU8NlFHDij4gK4jksNi1kdkrrNcNcdO8lUyBcPYnIgC5dTGvtiqecqN-CGQ2JW50yw1/s2160/C35B00C9-DB04-4FAD-9F4B-C6F2DE0A1183.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1160" data-original-width="2160" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWKJyqbGQ-Bl2lU4Z6ul-TIk1mdVYPryVLPwir2Nzs_tRu_RPYIZ6xj-MQzRqfEKsK5S1POszNUbHbrnojUdnohqrpM3BWi76joLQT7FlXzX6nHhWXHdG4fLJpfcU8NlFHDij4gK4jksNi1kdkrrNcNcdO8lUyBcPYnIgC5dTGvtiqecqN-CGQ2JW50yw1/w640-h344/C35B00C9-DB04-4FAD-9F4B-C6F2DE0A1183.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px; font-weight: bold;">Do we notice the difference between town water and reverse osmosis water?</span><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"> The answer is yes – the cleaner the water the nicer it tastes. Your tap water has been collected through a natural process. You collect water on a boat through desalination which is not a natural process. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In many countries chemicals are also added to the water, which will affect the taste. Reverse osmosis has no to very little taste, the taste that you do have is probably due to your tank residue.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheYSl2Q8EPBL802tPf50ZQn9G46QlkebGKL5-xCFlAxogQ0LxGovwKiRy9s-E0L5wpYelLHPJhsxY7Tki9AK-r5gh1HnRWa5b7qXW6UKV_9M8mMq2WFKOUeA24oiKH32lyVyZ_meIQZ1VHcjbCkjXrg218a1FYWjVN59LXHFj-7sktKnbkZYiX3vM10tt/s465/ED76A206-7093-4683-85DE-87EC3ADD5A3C.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="279" data-original-width="465" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheYSl2Q8EPBL802tPf50ZQn9G46QlkebGKL5-xCFlAxogQ0LxGovwKiRy9s-E0L5wpYelLHPJhsxY7Tki9AK-r5gh1HnRWa5b7qXW6UKV_9M8mMq2WFKOUeA24oiKH32lyVyZ_meIQZ1VHcjbCkjXrg218a1FYWjVN59LXHFj-7sktKnbkZYiX3vM10tt/w640-h384/ED76A206-7093-4683-85DE-87EC3ADD5A3C.webp" width="640" /></a></div><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px; font-weight: bold;">Are there health issues drinking reverse osmosis water? </span><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">There is virtually no tried-and-tested evidence to suggest that reverse osmosis water is harmful to your health. If you eat a balanced diet and do not suffer from conditions like severe acid reflux or gastrointestinal ulcers, drinking reverse osmosis water will have no impact on your overall health and wellbeing. However the system does remove healthy minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium and bicarbonates from the water. To compensate this you can easily add Electrolyte powders. They are specifically formulated to infuse water with minerals and electrolytes that have been removed by the reverse osmosis system. We simply mix the powder into our first litre of drinking water of the day. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj45w9A0fWG2DWrxVY25JYT1boj-tI2WqZ0HG4ekg0lSwLT8Z5sl-FZOYgwqCo3paIaQ2XAiiBaIOtyFFuz6qunyeWLQOt_J4DlkhKIFvFhqH7Z9ZUmlr2Df1xoYHZ8ZXOTklv2kZ0SG_E_crESrS0ucMtRajl72P2JU38n7DjB4LZ6I6u4n_TU6xoWaFD-/s1024/E0984DA1-0AD1-440B-A9DC-3FC90C0CEB94.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj45w9A0fWG2DWrxVY25JYT1boj-tI2WqZ0HG4ekg0lSwLT8Z5sl-FZOYgwqCo3paIaQ2XAiiBaIOtyFFuz6qunyeWLQOt_J4DlkhKIFvFhqH7Z9ZUmlr2Df1xoYHZ8ZXOTklv2kZ0SG_E_crESrS0ucMtRajl72P2JU38n7DjB4LZ6I6u4n_TU6xoWaFD-/w640-h360/E0984DA1-0AD1-440B-A9DC-3FC90C0CEB94.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Note: Most electrolyte powders are used as powdered sports drinks and gym beverages, and may contain artificial flavourings and colorants that may be harmful to your body in excess amounts.

It’s, by definition, taking the road less travelled. It’s about embracing individual experience versus culture-led holidays and trends. Traveling can be one of the most rewarding human experiences — opening your mind and worldview to new places, connecting with new people, and immersing yourself in local cultures. It can be meaningful, memorable, rejuvenating, and energising.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir21jyLL3RcP5Xd9JjSU0H24xBJ3yU9JPOIeAPP8Kg1O6mfwGBtuLccsP3AUL5-G2hKhv03Z_Cf1_-FYprfhHoZgkJVpRO0dN-bS0UgwiYy_0VWrrmwfAOsJPJiCuEYzO9IHz3x2stT6SgQg7jO-Rs2ISOQuyOXTlNKF1hq4WRnfAE9V78LRWCr-iJEGp6/s878/827DB1C1-12A8-4484-9590-1EF89BB4AFF2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="878" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir21jyLL3RcP5Xd9JjSU0H24xBJ3yU9JPOIeAPP8Kg1O6mfwGBtuLccsP3AUL5-G2hKhv03Z_Cf1_-FYprfhHoZgkJVpRO0dN-bS0UgwiYy_0VWrrmwfAOsJPJiCuEYzO9IHz3x2stT6SgQg7jO-Rs2ISOQuyOXTlNKF1hq4WRnfAE9V78LRWCr-iJEGp6/w640-h350/827DB1C1-12A8-4484-9590-1EF89BB4AFF2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We travel at under 30 Klm per day</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">It’s hard to pinpoint its exact beginnings but the slow travel revolution—an intentional move towards more mindful, more environmentally responsible, less purely convenient modes of getting around.

If anything, it’s quite relaxing and for filling. During the day, we don’t have a specific watch schedule and instead opt for a free flowing process where one person, and usually more, is always on deck. Sailing-wise, if the wind is up it’s usually coming from a predictable direction so we set Our Dreamtime’s sails, trim accordingly and let the autopilot do the driving for us.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuY3uUaeEDubx6XHyhWG4voHEUA8BwJdbgwmzn7UviOwheTlvzv2yd2VQSQAM15A7N6mebWDjP6ZqfOFJOQPb7zqfWgsGq3JYsfQEO9fXQ12hcdU-zyT0YCPTq0EHzIUZxhVA2Ff3M-58eoAk6urzuL-YK5Dy2VqfM1s8lgHKvnsESzcaRsYiVJ11PdecK/s1620/A7847898-7AD6-4777-A3D5-071C788FFD26.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="1620" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuY3uUaeEDubx6XHyhWG4voHEUA8BwJdbgwmzn7UviOwheTlvzv2yd2VQSQAM15A7N6mebWDjP6ZqfOFJOQPb7zqfWgsGq3JYsfQEO9fXQ12hcdU-zyT0YCPTq0EHzIUZxhVA2Ff3M-58eoAk6urzuL-YK5Dy2VqfM1s8lgHKvnsESzcaRsYiVJ11PdecK/w640-h340/A7847898-7AD6-4777-A3D5-071C788FFD26.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">While sailing (or motoring when there’s no wind), typical activities include navigation, route planning, filming, photography, fishing, reading, researching, editing, listening to music, watching dolphins play on the bow, and taking in beautiful sunrises and sunsets. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-mvaXbzfY_7j-dveeZ6DrcystfYdmf0QI-Y8SwZYcZwmFQ57yfe50Uq3heGJIhLXwxrzzNbrXS_5Paw-m5ZN3RjuryuN63jtouX4d62OTQbBm74bHPbP4v0F34AVsovZLG1FR8r1uEWIGSSwY1vXUs5NXjKm-mm5gP0FcyQXdumJpumqfVb8AawQK_Bq/s2160/61AB5749-1A2F-4C3C-8A8A-75978895EEDC.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="2160" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-mvaXbzfY_7j-dveeZ6DrcystfYdmf0QI-Y8SwZYcZwmFQ57yfe50Uq3heGJIhLXwxrzzNbrXS_5Paw-m5ZN3RjuryuN63jtouX4d62OTQbBm74bHPbP4v0F34AVsovZLG1FR8r1uEWIGSSwY1vXUs5NXjKm-mm5gP0FcyQXdumJpumqfVb8AawQK_Bq/w640-h352/61AB5749-1A2F-4C3C-8A8A-75978895EEDC.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reading is a great pastime</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxGc18Qq0g8OI8S0ual30v5TxTOK5LWOjFwjOKWpWCKfHojqyU7sX3E2epWDtQX4jaJTXlS0BcUgKqKRlJ2bltcdkI-aS3GxM_yr0ESyxmnNpej5hSFxtTxAxTCCJ8Hxz01ArLXUJpqtgdhzo3rukBkzw6Cx0z-kr3gbMEAlVOr78aZAQfpoqUcABmdPpH/s700/4825BE33-0796-4370-856C-9DC3241BA1F2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="700" height="558" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxGc18Qq0g8OI8S0ual30v5TxTOK5LWOjFwjOKWpWCKfHojqyU7sX3E2epWDtQX4jaJTXlS0BcUgKqKRlJ2bltcdkI-aS3GxM_yr0ESyxmnNpej5hSFxtTxAxTCCJ8Hxz01ArLXUJpqtgdhzo3rukBkzw6Cx0z-kr3gbMEAlVOr78aZAQfpoqUcABmdPpH/w640-h558/4825BE33-0796-4370-856C-9DC3241BA1F2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rob trims the sails</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">There are always boat chores to be done, some of these can be achieved underway.

Besides trimming sails and keeping the boat moving in the right direction, the key duty of the on-watch crew is keeping a lookout for lights nearby or on the horizon, paying attention to the AIS system and watching the radar for unidentifiable objects that we can’t see in the dark. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">A night watch can quickly go from serene to intense when the wind and seas kick up unexpectedly or when spotting and tracking fishing vessels of various sizes or commercial shipping traffic. Along with those obstacles, we might also encounter other sailboats and if we are near shore, lighted buoys and lights on land need to be properly identified. Our Dreamtime is equipped with AIS (Automatic Identification System) and radar, so we are able to track, avoid and be in contact with some of the vessels that we may encounter, but not all of them. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Along the coasts of Indonesia, we frequently come across small open fishing boats that have no electronics except for a single light. These are the most concerning because they can be hard to spot and track, they are normally made of timber which doesn’t show on radar and their course isn’t as consistent as commercial vessels. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4SxaHITPwKfMZF2DByaL3_k4iUxFWxZAvp7op4kqDKMgRYh_7A52C1slgunXWljF5Du3rWhgOP4llCrNoF3EG75OhkcVDkOkPchTlv2fCwhlR5GE5svcXYnxrgtGprEIgm3KuAqb0G2towSzHxNjizblIVpRqVEEuhn_82eT27BuTUWPIZMkDKemS9am/s830/3774A542-CB5B-4484-B263-658EDB3E4834.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="830" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4SxaHITPwKfMZF2DByaL3_k4iUxFWxZAvp7op4kqDKMgRYh_7A52C1slgunXWljF5Du3rWhgOP4llCrNoF3EG75OhkcVDkOkPchTlv2fCwhlR5GE5svcXYnxrgtGprEIgm3KuAqb0G2towSzHxNjizblIVpRqVEEuhn_82eT27BuTUWPIZMkDKemS9am/w640-h484/3774A542-CB5B-4484-B263-658EDB3E4834.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ham, egg and cheese toasted tortilla cups</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">But it’s not all about sailing. Over the years and many miles, Karen has become incredibly proficient at getting the boat provisioned and we are never lacking in food for meals and snacks. Mealtimes are regular, even when the seas are bumpy Karen always has something for us to eat. We’ve dialed in several meals that we like for passages including tacos, breakfast burritos, chicken pesto pasta and toasted sandwiches. We also make sure to consume LOTS of water to keep us hydrated, especially in the tropics, and we don’t drink alcohol on passage — that’s what celebrating landfall at anchor or ashore is for!</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">If you would like too see what Karen cooks up in the galley, click on over to <a href="http://dreamtimesailourgalley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Our Galley </a>where she invites you into the galley to try out her recipes.

It is nearly impossible to move around without bumping into each other, stepping on each other’s toes, and knowing if one or other hasn’t put on deodorant. Our bathroom is a small wet room, and even though it is separated by the engine room to the living space, you can still hear and dare I say sometimes smell the ablutions of the other. Personal space is hard to come by.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWKk7NUVfr7xQ8oq_Edgk8Ugy2Hdlg1XTi73uADi2aOFYKYFo_NTM4u2vSlcsU7C4QZpXRPndnPtn6M0IDXoN2vckNittMoIt7zcPUSOdh2bwpxItXSKzIsUSfpW6oda5eTzMuz0Hx41V64MtsjLxYZucgI5gYTjhG9SyaiP4WtCUi0xV1bnZ5o_AjOKeC/s1620/309455C1-BFF5-4B4D-892A-B005EFD18EA4.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="902" data-original-width="1620" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWKk7NUVfr7xQ8oq_Edgk8Ugy2Hdlg1XTi73uADi2aOFYKYFo_NTM4u2vSlcsU7C4QZpXRPndnPtn6M0IDXoN2vckNittMoIt7zcPUSOdh2bwpxItXSKzIsUSfpW6oda5eTzMuz0Hx41V64MtsjLxYZucgI5gYTjhG9SyaiP4WtCUi0xV1bnZ5o_AjOKeC/w640-h356/309455C1-BFF5-4B4D-892A-B005EFD18EA4.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is as far apart as we can get bow to stern.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Entire weeks can go by in which we are never apart from each other. This is unique to no other living conditions that a couple can find themselves in. Other tiny living options are normally on dry land where a walk to defuse a small irritation is available. For us the closest thing to that walk to the bow, 12 meters away, “I can still hear you” </span><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px;">😂😂😂😂</span><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"> “What’s that you say?

The last time I can remember us being separated was over 100 days ago and it was literally for 2 hours. Being with another human 24/7, even one you love, is a tougher challenge than most believe. It takes a strong understanding of each other’s traits and the ability to accommodate these with patients and humility. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6B6AIG1o1K4o7f9GP9cZOuv297_KnBv5omf-XH3Otyorb0-NfqmwS4TH-HIF-LVx8aWtt273w-y2b2rq54c9gvxfQZCukRaMYnuBnJ1tQb_VL-fEPXNk6_7T2HYm9NABvgVySteRjf8aQBRN9gvhr1sKkmj7gkK6mSSa2o0dbVH3Ivjon42irWHi-phGC/s2080/E8152617-498C-49CA-A6E8-BD465C5A5A34.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="2080" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6B6AIG1o1K4o7f9GP9cZOuv297_KnBv5omf-XH3Otyorb0-NfqmwS4TH-HIF-LVx8aWtt273w-y2b2rq54c9gvxfQZCukRaMYnuBnJ1tQb_VL-fEPXNk6_7T2HYm9NABvgVySteRjf8aQBRN9gvhr1sKkmj7gkK6mSSa2o0dbVH3Ivjon42irWHi-phGC/w640-h364/E8152617-498C-49CA-A6E8-BD465C5A5A34.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our day is spent together for every task onboard</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Over time those small insignificant traits can add up. Rob is messy especially with power cords, I hate the tangled mess of them when charging the camera gear. I tried to set up a system, but we are back to the tangled mess every few days. He on return must struggle with my insistence of wiping down the bathroom countertop after each use. Or the knives to be placed in a certain way and order on the knife rack. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Cruisers will tell you the worst time on a boat is coming into anchor or docking the boat. We are in total agreement with this. It is certainly the most nervous time I have onboard, I would rather be out to sea in 40+ knots and seas than dock the boat. There are all matter of things that can potentially go wrong when anchoring or docking and the stress levels rise with this knowledge. The use of radios “marriage savers” is a good start to keeping a level of tension down as you are not yelling at each other, over wind and engine noises. However it just means the rest of the world can’t hear you say “Whatever”.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The demands on each of us intensify when things are going bad, inclement weather, breakdowns, tiredness, illness, stresses on finding a comfortable anchorage for a good nights sleep, or simply just the anchoring process. There are countless things that can trigger the small things that then become big things. It’s not unlike arriving home tired after a stressful 10 hour day at work, struggling with bad traffic in the pouring rain, then running into the house soaking wet to be met by “WTF …… You didn’t remember the milk”. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRPbfsBH7dYr1go2ZE_4oQgt7LbsysqfCSxdFXM5giXuh_12omfwWL6SN7WwCYO-LN3uGHN0HlmY7hBnQxk6aMnRftxFAEzov4CUbDmHWeM2Mf6VKfhmppty5PCI2Vi2cfjHH-7Y23pYin_IzlM3PhPSV9SP67Kjw7zEdiMxKBAHdmoIdxWxzIzewUWJa/s1201/A9B8B9D2-251E-4BE1-AA90-51B4E6C44CB5.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1201" data-original-width="1130" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizRPbfsBH7dYr1go2ZE_4oQgt7LbsysqfCSxdFXM5giXuh_12omfwWL6SN7WwCYO-LN3uGHN0HlmY7hBnQxk6aMnRftxFAEzov4CUbDmHWeM2Mf6VKfhmppty5PCI2Vi2cfjHH-7Y23pYin_IzlM3PhPSV9SP67Kjw7zEdiMxKBAHdmoIdxWxzIzewUWJa/w602-h640/A9B8B9D2-251E-4BE1-AA90-51B4E6C44CB5.jpeg" width="602" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Remember the photo a few paragraphs above 👆 things can go bad very quickly</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Yes and at times there are heated words, words that are said under the stress of running a boat. It is like no other stress that you can put a couple under, we are after all only human and when the S*#* hits the fan sometimes so does our demeanour frazzle.

You have to focus on sections of the sea at a time. Using the techniques taught for watch observation you get the hang of watching and seeing unusual activity below the water surface. Place your eyes on the horizon and then gradually bring your vision closer to you, together with a very slow sweeping motion. Using the clock hands as your guide. (Bow being 12 o’clock) sweep the ocean between 10 and 12 o’clock and then repeat 8 to 10 o’clock, repeating until you have completed the clock face. Look for unusual splashes, the glint of fast moving creature in the side of a wave.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">It is not unusual to sea a flock of birds diving into the sea chasing a shoal of fish. Very often you will find dolphins, mackerel and tuna in there hunting the shoal of fish at the same time. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCpbDRpNfGGXoTvE44Lup6harIj-AhOj2p47o9m9swopZSonQJ4_Uq3vPc3nByv1KJNYzNcBPbD4mY-pe4C42Na27jDHIZC0QXTIlg2cAECiWGSo7i_lXIfioOgz32UiliyTCtlcy8X9VS_IJvOkhxqZBjLgXCqKq5UIESEV4OL6HedepR-kGvaGhjRJ3/s886/A5944D3F-16BC-4D31-9B3B-E2FE63F6B407.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="856" data-original-width="886" height="618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCpbDRpNfGGXoTvE44Lup6harIj-AhOj2p47o9m9swopZSonQJ4_Uq3vPc3nByv1KJNYzNcBPbD4mY-pe4C42Na27jDHIZC0QXTIlg2cAECiWGSo7i_lXIfioOgz32UiliyTCtlcy8X9VS_IJvOkhxqZBjLgXCqKq5UIESEV4OL6HedepR-kGvaGhjRJ3/w640-h618/A5944D3F-16BC-4D31-9B3B-E2FE63F6B407.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">It is very difficult to focus your eyes on objects in the sky. Whilst you are on a rollercoaster. The trick here is to do the same technique as searching the sea for dangers, but instead of going in one smooth motion from looking close to far away go a little distance away and look up, nothing there, look down and move your focus a little further away, look up, so on and so forth.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHjBwYT1BJtyH6KTvwM4E8fMbSK55v3RtVHpE1769Jj_mrOE-cSVPlFNglwm7qTJgyqaKj3z_SnCnonm-S_JmxB3ucHtMm5caepm-vDPJ7DwFJktV8OcdRueBrpN3xAPPIPxIBQJRvgMGeHzH484QMyuC2Ac5BzarbnuZFofmS9vc5W1zjtzydcUPY1fYr/s2146/2366AD66-08B5-4194-9D83-7F5B819A5CCD.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1211" data-original-width="2146" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHjBwYT1BJtyH6KTvwM4E8fMbSK55v3RtVHpE1769Jj_mrOE-cSVPlFNglwm7qTJgyqaKj3z_SnCnonm-S_JmxB3ucHtMm5caepm-vDPJ7DwFJktV8OcdRueBrpN3xAPPIPxIBQJRvgMGeHzH484QMyuC2Ac5BzarbnuZFofmS9vc5W1zjtzydcUPY1fYr/w640-h362/2366AD66-08B5-4194-9D83-7F5B819A5CCD.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The easiest to spot are the flying fish. Once you reach the tropical waters these beautiful winged luminescent fish can literally fly from all directions. We find ourselves taking bets on how far they fly, or coaxing them to fly further. Their unfortunate demise is at night where their night vision must be as limited as ours as many end up on the deck perished by morning.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Before sunset you normally find seabirds like the blue footed or brown Booby birds come circling the boat. They come to find a roost for the night. Sleeping anywhere they can find out of the wind and at dawn they return to their day of feasting from the sea. We have had the same boobies, return night after night, hitchhiking along the journey.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKd-2nfJ-LbQcrfiG4J7mYPmVmLjyGM9E6yLphXrRDpGpII-nKMJsk6a8vDlJJuQXzr0gBW5bVttv42wNcYaX5PGcNQMsVk34Od0MG_Cvk95wA_adwPidnW8klOhCgW24guJVRVOnzrwY14Aml9audV6TGxYu7C7oMEPh7EacOTsbF1BhGoAugGhWO11ca/s1782/D1D3681D-0EA9-41EC-B8E3-01FFD8EC0AA1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1782" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKd-2nfJ-LbQcrfiG4J7mYPmVmLjyGM9E6yLphXrRDpGpII-nKMJsk6a8vDlJJuQXzr0gBW5bVttv42wNcYaX5PGcNQMsVk34Od0MG_Cvk95wA_adwPidnW8klOhCgW24guJVRVOnzrwY14Aml9audV6TGxYu7C7oMEPh7EacOTsbF1BhGoAugGhWO11ca/w518-h640/D1D3681D-0EA9-41EC-B8E3-01FFD8EC0AA1.jpeg" width="518" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">When it’s dark and you have little or no vision you can often hear cetaceans as they blow air out of their blow holes. Believe me it can make you jump when a hump back whale blows right beside you as you are sailing along peacefully under sail at night. On hearing it you might be able to see it either with the naked or helped by a search light. If you can’t see and you can’t hear it, you may smell cetaceans. They eat fish and their breath is very smelly and if you happen to be down wind of a school of dolphins in the dark it is possible you will smell them. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtR3W-27gJ47nWY7pBesqAGY3iR_YGrAxYrzKLwSIZ-QaJNk531VkY7eMThuJTVomzV-pP06OB9GezNUirbsAKP9tuBO3OruoU92qn8JrC9Lsqq3XBHJTVf2bKZi-IZ9shABKqmOBkDuujDQowoU1rGOQTYdkxpnWphL9gvVui-nAFpJ1pIMtPPHPDHdVO/s1792/86F4E9FA-1B8B-44F9-8194-94A45D15EEF2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtR3W-27gJ47nWY7pBesqAGY3iR_YGrAxYrzKLwSIZ-QaJNk531VkY7eMThuJTVomzV-pP06OB9GezNUirbsAKP9tuBO3OruoU92qn8JrC9Lsqq3XBHJTVf2bKZi-IZ9shABKqmOBkDuujDQowoU1rGOQTYdkxpnWphL9gvVui-nAFpJ1pIMtPPHPDHdVO/w514-h640/86F4E9FA-1B8B-44F9-8194-94A45D15EEF2.jpeg" width="514" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">But the most magical time on a night watch is when a pod of Dolphins arrive they must know you are alone as they tend to surf in the waves beside the boat instead of their usual place on the bow. Dolphins literally ‘glow' in the dark as they glide through bioluminescent waves. This is something that we would love to film for you all to see but unfortunately it doesn’t show up in the lens. It’s one of those special moments I guess you need to experience for yourself.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_2-Pp63bYkU7HEx2IU5EgSTYoUQQAs_Ji7-Sia-eXr_SOUFDmyWI_I5prhI4iy2AQrQCblCu0JiBX-pO6xRNlha3jqG_gU17k5iUfT5f1h_y0q9ybDLSo2XVNv0ExPpm7-3NBSMeDJT_CyW9IxNmDI78MWzkeaj9EXHZ_UfgtyA7aFYKGQmbqPbLUI5H/s1782/587320DF-BF8E-4082-8B93-705282A11FFC.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1782" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_2-Pp63bYkU7HEx2IU5EgSTYoUQQAs_Ji7-Sia-eXr_SOUFDmyWI_I5prhI4iy2AQrQCblCu0JiBX-pO6xRNlha3jqG_gU17k5iUfT5f1h_y0q9ybDLSo2XVNv0ExPpm7-3NBSMeDJT_CyW9IxNmDI78MWzkeaj9EXHZ_UfgtyA7aFYKGQmbqPbLUI5H/w518-h640/587320DF-BF8E-4082-8B93-705282A11FFC.jpeg" width="518" /></a></div><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We hope we bring to you some of the amazing sights that we see on our amazing adventures sailing the sea.

Maluku name itself is taken from the word al-Mulk, which means Land of the Kings. Maluku Islands, known for its abundant natural wealth, especially spices, which was then targeted by many countries such as the Dutch and Portuguese colonizers. Back in the days, the famed ‘Moluccas’ was a place where a great wealth grew on the trees – quite literally.

The name itself is taken from the word al-Mulk, which means Land of the Kings. The Maluku Islands, are known for abundant natural wealth, especially spices, which was then targeted by many countries such as the Dutch and Portuguese colonisers.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPt8zlQCRYju_uslBy_5_ERw2JInBmgnikDvm-dffqHCy19F75tECHc8e5xMzHjbNfFrt6jxSgh6Ke07iwnVk0Zs6J1RP8Ni1QO1NVEuBC5V6aVanbtPwSgMl1WnsWRPBS4b0y64Soy0pdHwuv_0mNcY9SE3n6O603tmrKQkfPFyUeJ4E1K2kdoUYibBZ/s1778/80962518-A629-4983-BD84-F7D68C8423A9.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1620" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPt8zlQCRYju_uslBy_5_ERw2JInBmgnikDvm-dffqHCy19F75tECHc8e5xMzHjbNfFrt6jxSgh6Ke07iwnVk0Zs6J1RP8Ni1QO1NVEuBC5V6aVanbtPwSgMl1WnsWRPBS4b0y64Soy0pdHwuv_0mNcY9SE3n6O603tmrKQkfPFyUeJ4E1K2kdoUYibBZ/w584-h640/80962518-A629-4983-BD84-F7D68C8423A9.jpeg" width="584" /></a></div><br /><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Once the favourite Dutch colony – for precious spices that grew nowhere else on earth, today, Maluku is an attractive travel destination, when it comes to yachting and scuba diving. The archipelago includes thousands of inhabited and uninhabited volcanic islands and many small isles. What really stands out though, is the scenery in Central Maluku. The chain of forested mountain islands are fringed by immaculate beaches and secluded bays, turquoise lagoons with overwater bungalows, virgin coral reefs; and all that is concluded with perfectly-shaped volcanoes in the background – a perfect holiday hub! If you can get there. Luckily for us we have our floating home and she has delivered us to one of the most beautiful places to be found. This is our first stop along this chain of islands that will take us from the Kei Kecil Islands across the northern route of Seram to Buru.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Back in the days, the famed ‘Moluccas’ was a place where a great wealth grew on the trees – quite literally. Mace, nutmeg and cloves were found nowhere else in the world, which reinforced the Dutch colonial power. Though the spices are still grown and exported, these days, it is rather the Polynesian look that draws the visitors. Indeed, some of the islands in Central Maluku could easily compete with Tahiti.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Picture yourself on an exotic beach surrounded by enchanting small restaurants with nothing but vast stretches of white sand as soft as flour beneath your feet. No, this is not some imaginary beach on a fantasy land reality TV show; this is what awaits you at Ngurbloat Beach on Kei Island. These are not the regular images we see of Indonesia, this beautiful country has many unique destinations just like this and you won’t be sharing it with hundreds of other anchored boats or the never ending tourist boats dropping people off. No this Beach you will need to share with the local people on Sunday but apart from that you will need to bring your own crowd on any other day of the week.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOVxSbkPYOAuATAfV7mnMPG3Gjkbdl27kVGCmlaZ5rZ5xuDc9Ks3CzfyWwh6aqpVl2IH_HpCrq9ARHQ4Z3bhfukA2JzYkSBm-ZT1tx361d-cbtwj_Oq4eqUgMJEVahDKmbkzClJqP-U7NDQ_2RwcFdySR5Wutmkp9Pcb_vX-jLdOegr4kfmgwR8nMPUpLf/s6000/DCA891D3-534C-457E-A887-BEB5886EF0E9.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOVxSbkPYOAuATAfV7mnMPG3Gjkbdl27kVGCmlaZ5rZ5xuDc9Ks3CzfyWwh6aqpVl2IH_HpCrq9ARHQ4Z3bhfukA2JzYkSBm-ZT1tx361d-cbtwj_Oq4eqUgMJEVahDKmbkzClJqP-U7NDQ_2RwcFdySR5Wutmkp9Pcb_vX-jLdOegr4kfmgwR8nMPUpLf/w426-h640/DCA891D3-534C-457E-A887-BEB5886EF0E9.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Ngurbloat Beach is also known by locals as the Long Sands Beach, since it goes on and on for 5 km from Ngurbloat Beach in Ngingof Village all the way to Ngursamadan Beach in Ohilir Village.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cPAHsv4BpC2vyIuJclBgRm3-6fpsy-rA989UPnFtdQTipF9LZ1bZAX_Fs52EnC-6PrKN7qjDIi7T9lUmBbjBIPfNLjWoavBeT2XnUER7oqVjKf4fZgx3ptyW2DBABu7HNax0WRSQ0IHqclR1AwFTZ5PoPxCEI7HkHJp5QDV2Ssj00KEYUBddMCLd04Xr/s1800/E43EB23B-2A41-4790-88FA-8E30023E456B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cPAHsv4BpC2vyIuJclBgRm3-6fpsy-rA989UPnFtdQTipF9LZ1bZAX_Fs52EnC-6PrKN7qjDIi7T9lUmBbjBIPfNLjWoavBeT2XnUER7oqVjKf4fZgx3ptyW2DBABu7HNax0WRSQ0IHqclR1AwFTZ5PoPxCEI7HkHJp5QDV2Ssj00KEYUBddMCLd04Xr/w512-h640/E43EB23B-2A41-4790-88FA-8E30023E456B.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">This swathe of white sand is also what makes this beach so exceptional. The sand is so smooth and soft that the National Geographic dubbed it as: the softest sand beach in Asia. Rows of coconut trees decorate the shores over overlooking the vast blue sea, creating a truly magnificent sight. Simply lay back in one of the bright coloured beanbags and soak it all in under the tropical sun.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3VSAsDgNcV4HvtfO-Km_mmn_tzHzKoiRrHi6eBASglvQqunuO19KVb1ZfqiwmAFTiz0VkbDPY45NSQsg10z3h3V5uLf2WjZHANzrwdrP7xJTGME3umo9Owf40ZN7gPN8xYzLB8trq1Tg8_is7t1qhPrQ2-nB6spL4y6UA0r1pNnfBSo_z12kPfueXY22/s1164/11361068-1A3C-4BC5-8C9B-D1C49565938E.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="934" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ3VSAsDgNcV4HvtfO-Km_mmn_tzHzKoiRrHi6eBASglvQqunuO19KVb1ZfqiwmAFTiz0VkbDPY45NSQsg10z3h3V5uLf2WjZHANzrwdrP7xJTGME3umo9Owf40ZN7gPN8xYzLB8trq1Tg8_is7t1qhPrQ2-nB6spL4y6UA0r1pNnfBSo_z12kPfueXY22/w514-h640/11361068-1A3C-4BC5-8C9B-D1C49565938E.jpeg" width="514" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The lagoon anchorage is well protected from the SE trade winds. Passing over the reef into the lagoon we dropped the hook in 15 meters of sand. There are some coral heads to look for but they are relatively deep. The fringing reef closer to the beach rises quickly so keep a lookout on the bow. We spent a memorable few days here and recommend it to anyone sailing this way to drop the hook you won’t be disappointed. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">If you want to know more about this area make sure you checkout our <a href="http://tinyurl.com/DreamtimeSailEp85" target="_blank">YouTube Channel Dreamtime Sail Episode 85</a></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Cheers R&K </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://payhip.com/Dreamtimesail" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="1584" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1sbUJ9eniqPdGyYhSbl8CVxaNgtL8FMAz3SU8m39l7VEIScbmZqJZibGOH5m_lRqGq9Q-YigFRFftDH9yZ4xtkEcUDl7yf55MgLWRema6XAeKkPWXLdHY9bhehciVeADKK0dNsqROW4eXSN_f8eXcIkWTsO64CjGeJMe2s1JXNynm0tmg7_JEjGUivJvn/w640-h160/965E5541-F330-4AE0-97C8-146DACB8A928.png" width="640" /></a></div><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5152493153292074850" itemprop="description articleBody" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(2, 19, 42); color: #02132a; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 648px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you to all who support us through watching our videos, reading our blogs or who step up and support us though <a href="https://www.patreon.com/DreamtimeSail?fan_landing=true" style="color: #7373d0; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Patreon</a> and <a href="https://ko-fi.com/dreamtimesail" style="color: #7373d0; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Ko-Fi</a>.

Welcome to Indonesia <p> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.36px;">A sight for sore eyes! For land that is. After 5 days out at sea, surfing down waves with the wind pushing us along, at record speed, we have arrived… again, in Indonesia.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We knew what the weather conditions would be. We prepared the boat and crew to the best of our abilities and we did it! Sailing passages is not something any sailor likes doing, unless maybe your one of those around the world non-stop record breaking sailors who love every minute of it. I, on the other hand know it is something that needs to be achieved so we can discover new horizons and cultures. Our Dreamtime did an amazing job, for a 41 year old ketch, she sails like a youngster. The more and more we sail her the more and more we love her. The crew also handled it brilliantly, arriving tired but still with smiles on our faces, ready to explore all Indonesia has to offer.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Selamat Datang di Indonesia!</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVcEnIjTpFZD38oloWbOsjGK4JbAnc6UnvysqsAsbORBvaqxaKwHE5xKQj8efTVkPtzQVsyCgitw2-KDrPpcM4VBn9Nj7Wt4uhnm8PJZIRBV0DnS3tdJFoe4rohJKulwnMS5VrW_CTv8agunqCjlqQIDM0TbY4Dp4TVi-6a3xkqrzDqpqFGyIoeO-UtC-/s2142/D03E9E75-5C5F-42E0-9462-F0E97DAC3FFD.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1204" data-original-width="2142" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVcEnIjTpFZD38oloWbOsjGK4JbAnc6UnvysqsAsbORBvaqxaKwHE5xKQj8efTVkPtzQVsyCgitw2-KDrPpcM4VBn9Nj7Wt4uhnm8PJZIRBV0DnS3tdJFoe4rohJKulwnMS5VrW_CTv8agunqCjlqQIDM0TbY4Dp4TVi-6a3xkqrzDqpqFGyIoeO-UtC-/w640-h360/D03E9E75-5C5F-42E0-9462-F0E97DAC3FFD.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">After our sail from Thursday Island to Indonesia we stir from a deep sleep as the 5am call to prayer drifts across the anchorage in Debut, it has been 2 hours since we hit the bunk. But it is this sound throughout the day that we will grow to love and relate to our time spent here.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Over 50 boats have entered the rally, which means the anchorage is crowded but all find enough swing room. Joining a rally isn’t what we seek, as we love to sail to remote areas and experience the destinations without organised entertainment, busy anchorages and crowds, yet just for the added ease of checking into the country we thought it was our best option. In hindsight we would now enter the country at the same time as the rally using an agent, without paying the exorbitant rally fees. You can still have all the added benefits of the rally if you choose to use the Indonesian rally organiser as your agent.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">For the welcome ceremony, a tent was set up in the street with rows of chairs for us distinguished guests. There were a lot of government officials in attendance, and we had a short ceremony where coconut water was blessed and sprinkled on us. There were lots of speeches by the government people, some of which were translated and some were not. Two of our rally participants gave a speech on behalf of the cruisers. Michelle from Seahorse gave a beautiful speech spoken fully in her recently learnt Indonesian. Hit was a standout favourite with the crowd in attendance. Everything was filmed, and before we got too antsy a snack box was passed out, giving us a tasty snack of </span><span class="s2" style="font-size: 18.36px; font-style: italic;">pastel goreng</span><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"> (fried pasties filled with rice noodles) and a slice of some kind of sweet loaf bread.

How would you feel about sailing at night? <p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.36px;">It’s a common misconception that when cruising on a sailboat you make many long passages. In reality, the majority of cruisers aren’t constantly sailing across vast stretches of open ocean. Mostly, they’re making hops up and down coastlines from anchorage to anchorage or port to port, then exploring one area for a length of time before moving on. Depending on where we’re cruising, these hops vary in overall length and distance offshore.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.36px;"> </span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfZ2FYm51wLnJ2F0O9jZvaXcrvek3g8yR5U8WgB5L6IbH4_5HQZOR20HJ8cGLAb-JRKSsrksJwdgYMcOdHVR16DwtQrXMa7T4hMtVs3_lFm4czJUU12UMApHGuikjgJuR-_7hK7WgEqHW2jpr1E3eQyKJpI76-siNODaaM9S_jryU1uB3AMgTP2tPdITEZ/s960/EB538CDA-A021-4852-AD7A-C6BE9ED8265A.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="960" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfZ2FYm51wLnJ2F0O9jZvaXcrvek3g8yR5U8WgB5L6IbH4_5HQZOR20HJ8cGLAb-JRKSsrksJwdgYMcOdHVR16DwtQrXMa7T4hMtVs3_lFm4czJUU12UMApHGuikjgJuR-_7hK7WgEqHW2jpr1E3eQyKJpI76-siNODaaM9S_jryU1uB3AMgTP2tPdITEZ/w640-h398/EB538CDA-A021-4852-AD7A-C6BE9ED8265A.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Karen talking to camera with the work light on.</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Sailing to different countries may also take on different looks. For example when we sailed the Mediterranean we basically day hopped along the coastline, with only a couple of night passages here or there. But sailing from Australia to anywhere takes multiple days, days and nights where you can’t stop. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The question we get the most from non-sailors about passages is, “Do you stop at night?” And the quick answer is, “No, we keep going.” By far one of our favourite parts of passagemaking is sailing at night. Don’t get me wrong there are certainly moments during night watches that are a little hectic, that with sunlight, it would be a whole lot easier. In reality though night watches are beautiful and we have had the most amazing experience during these watches.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The heavens above are full of stars with no light pollution they can be so intense they are reflected in the black inky sea. Dolphins often come and play and they shimmer with the efflorescence flowing off their sleek bodies as they dance in the waves. The moon seems larger at sea and when your are fortunate to have a full moon crossing, the light cast across the open sea is magical. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We trade off watches in three hour watches (shifts) depending on the passage and weather. At night we always wear automatic inflatable life vests and clip into attachment points in the cockpit. No one leaves the cockpit to go on deck unless there is another set of eyes watching them. This of course means waking the off watch person to do tasks on deck. There is no excuse not too, safety comes first.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Visibility is reduced at night. Distances are harder to judge, obstacles are difficult to see, and moisture and temperature changes create distortion. Boats can come out of nowhere and debris and fishing nets are nearly invisible on inky black water. Unless there’s a full moon, it is really really dark out there.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghD4IlgM4a4pjw5GC2vBmcRGrMJIuqcu_RUhPdAUdNINfYC3O_gsMUY0qaZOLd3YBrRhqOHfTu9Zip86kTC8IquY6zt1DtSdiwFicfkag7TBLm2ZyHF0midgECIXgavZliLLrkaVDhb_P74CNI6tyZ-IEbWiKWONI5T-btkJNLg4UuuVi6QUgrPw8mSNG7/s960/A9484520-3834-4855-894C-61107A02588C.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="960" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghD4IlgM4a4pjw5GC2vBmcRGrMJIuqcu_RUhPdAUdNINfYC3O_gsMUY0qaZOLd3YBrRhqOHfTu9Zip86kTC8IquY6zt1DtSdiwFicfkag7TBLm2ZyHF0midgECIXgavZliLLrkaVDhb_P74CNI6tyZ-IEbWiKWONI5T-btkJNLg4UuuVi6QUgrPw8mSNG7/w640-h342/A9484520-3834-4855-894C-61107A02588C.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the view from the cockpit with the working lights on.

Our watches are solo, so that means we have no one else, to keep that second set of eyes on the horizon with a periodic 360-dgree scan to ensure no one is coming up from behind or at an angle. It is up to that one person to keep an active watch for their 3 hours, at all times.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlMTw9zvTuqfK3J4O0AxPos-JmqidIXE2xXMuHgRnLve3nlNC4QUhAJ6Z_0xZcmZeRddv443Uj5lPWq0jAizuAtttEb2bKMygBFdlocn3yosrjM1diOjt2c9N0CLu9HrmX9wntK5unXsilsYnuna7HuFxYjxTMjF__24hZUf-5b-nefzTqpsGODnpiVGX/s960/BA4EA2F7-39BE-41FD-8A23-B430D38266D4.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="960" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlMTw9zvTuqfK3J4O0AxPos-JmqidIXE2xXMuHgRnLve3nlNC4QUhAJ6Z_0xZcmZeRddv443Uj5lPWq0jAizuAtttEb2bKMygBFdlocn3yosrjM1diOjt2c9N0CLu9HrmX9wntK5unXsilsYnuna7HuFxYjxTMjF__24hZUf-5b-nefzTqpsGODnpiVGX/w640-h350/BA4EA2F7-39BE-41FD-8A23-B430D38266D4.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The shipping that was registered on AIS.

Cabin lights are turned off and if required they are turned on with a vision-preserving red filter. Our night vision can take 20 minutes to adapt back to darkness after a flash of light. We use flashlights sparingly and usually only for emergencies. Even when dimmed the chart plotter, will impact your ability to see out of the boat.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We now have extra navigational aids such as AIS (automatic identification system) that enables us to see ships long before the naked eye can see them even in daylight. It is a brilliant system however it is just a tool, what if the ships system is down? Even at sea where you think nobody else will be there are always dangers to watch for. Things like fishing nets, debris and logs can do an extreme amount of damage to a vessel even traveling at 5 knots.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">The passage to Indonesia we were fortunate to have Karen’s brother Russell and his wife Tania onboard.

How we do it is one of our most asked questions and in this episode Rob reveals our no longer secret “Spero Rig” that has transformed our fishing. But first we continue our journey with an 80 mile sail to the natural wonder that is the Double Island Point sand lagoon anchorage. Along the way we encounter whales and, of course, get a nice catch or mackerel.

A suitable weather window is found and we celebrate SV Our Dreamtime’s 40th birthday. </span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href=" https://youtu.be/sy_m-JDZevk" target="_blank">WATCH HERE</a></span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGyi4K6yco8DkytLZw4Vq8ZEn_flDJcSVPCV3ogwt5geDi9kj-hVip2X5q70HRFFwmj_gSgvpMBAlHcgweo2Obu7g8grK9_hbrBrzUZQyI4pVgKb6ZDdYPd9nt0YHrRh6WiZ7UFnnGADJ_2wDXgF2UuUTPgLK23FXFflc3HNaP5-MPZGFeQJ4vKauOfg/s3840/53%2006.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2160" data-original-width="3840" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGyi4K6yco8DkytLZw4Vq8ZEn_flDJcSVPCV3ogwt5geDi9kj-hVip2X5q70HRFFwmj_gSgvpMBAlHcgweo2Obu7g8grK9_hbrBrzUZQyI4pVgKb6ZDdYPd9nt0YHrRh6WiZ7UFnnGADJ_2wDXgF2UuUTPgLK23FXFflc3HNaP5-MPZGFeQJ4vKauOfg/w640-h360/53%2006.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
