Explore Sailing Voyages in Indonesia 🇮🇩

Downwind sail. TWS 8-13 knots Skies clear Sea state calm

TWS 8-20knots. Main on 2nd reef, half genoa. Sea state up to 1 M Skies cloudy to clear

Rained in the afternoon. Winds southerly before and after rain. TWS averaged 12knots.

We finally made it. Hello Malaysia. Now time to crack a beer and clear customs.

One more stop and then we cross the Malaka Strait and up to Pinetrees Marina, Malaysia. We will check in and once cleared it will be time for some exploring. Legoland, Singapore Zoo and everything else we stumble across. It will definitely be a well earned break.

After a very long 4 day sail we have reached some sort of land mass. So it is anchors down in surprisingly shallow water and take a night to rest up before we begin the next leg of this journey. It was rather uneventful, which is a nice change for us. No real wind to speak of but that kept the seas calm. Captain unhappy about the motor sailing, but the crew were ok with it.

Another long journey but we made. Left in near perfect conditions which had us very optimistic. Only to have it all go to poop in a matter of hours. The sea state was the roughest we can remember and for no apparent reason as we had zero wind. It finally calmed down for the last 24 hours, which was a welcomed relief. We have stopped for the day/night but are off again early to get to the jump point across to Singapore. So close now.

Wind finally but on the nose and that brought with it some uncomfortable swell. The coast line along Billiton is hectic, rocks and shallow patches everywhere with none on Navionics Charts. Don’t was a fairly stressful little jaunt. Anchorage is surrounded by reef so finding a safe patch was a slow process but very protected and calm. Off to get fuel and some supplies while we have driver and then maybe we will go for a swim and a few cocktails to celebrate passing my Uni exams in some extreme circumstances as well as plot the next big jump to Malaysia. Leaving sun up tomorrow…
