It's been a good but slow 30 hours since we left. The winds have been from behind and very light ranging from 6kts to 12kts. The good news is the seas are following and comfortable. It looks like

I've been several days delinquent on updates. Sorry, I had to fly to Kuala Lumpur for visas and got lost in boat projects. We leave tomorrow for Borneo to meet up with friends and see the

We arrived yesterday to Lovina, Bali. The stretch of water between Lombok and Bali was nasty with large confused seas and 20-25kts of wind agains the current. We took water over the bow multiple

We've had an overall decent passage so far. The seas at the moment are sloppy and beamy, but we are making nice progress. We should be arriving tomorrow AM to Lovina, Bali. All is well.

We finally had to leave our favorite spot in the Komodos. It was sad to leave as we could have spent weeks in the location diving...but we must push on. We are underway for Lovina, Bali and plan to

We are still here enjoying this anchorage. The morning dive was the best dive we've had on the other side of the lagoon. We went over with 5 other divers and a total of three dinghys so it was nice

The boats keep on arriving. Yesterday we had 4 Indoensian dive boats arrive here full of divers. It's been full on with diving for sure. We had three great dives and have enjoyed getting caught up

Let's just say we are SHOCKED at all the yachts we've seen. In fact, we are in a remote area, or so we thought, just outside Komodo park and there are SIX yachts anchored around us. All of them

FINALLY, we are back and going on Field Trip. We spent 2.5 months back in the USA to see family and friends. I had not been back in 3 years, so it was great to see everyone. We just finished a two

We arrived safely to Lombok after a quick stop at Gili Air. We are on a mooring at the 'marina' - and will be leaving to Kuala Lumpur in two days. There are 12 other yachts here on moorings, and

Our first 24hrs of sailing have been generally OK. We've had a number of patches of no wind so we've had to motor more than we would like. The biggest pain has been opposing current of 1.5-2kts

This has been one of our favorite anchorages in the Flores Islands. Clear water, sandy bottom, and beautiful diving. We're anchored in 8m of water, and have really enjoyed the snorkeling and diving

We are underway heading out of Komodo National Park. It's sad to leave Komodo as we've really enjoyed the beauty and serenity. Our first stop is a small island just outside the park that has some

We've had a very eventful several days. In short we are in our favorite spot so far in Komodo. The diving in this area is outstanding, and the water is warm! We frankly got tired of the cold (23C)

We logged two dives early in the morning yesterday so we could make the tide change and sail up to the next stop for more diving and exploring ashore. We did a 6am hike this morning to the top of

We were told by the park rangers that this island we are anchored next to is 'dangerous' as the Komodo Dragons will swim after your boat. So far we've not see a Komodo yet down here, only a monkey

We arrived safely to Komodo yesterday morning around 6am. We averaged 77NM/day on the slow but very comfortable trip. No complaints from crew as everyone enjoyed the calm sailing. We are anchored

Posted: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 - 16:03

We're still 'sailing', but very slowly as we have 1-1.5kts against us in light winds. However, we are only 40NM from Komodo, so going slow at this point is fine as we don't want to arrive at night

It's been a slow but comfortable 24 hours. We caught a barracuda at 6am, and let him go...otherwise no more fish just yet. It's another beautiful day with lots of sunshine and calm seas.

We've had a very good 24 hours. Slow sailing, but comfortable and beautiful weather. We caught a 1.2m wahoo this morning to top off a good night watch. Kids were very happy to see fresh fish as
