success first flight a jolly good

morning to you all wherever you are

hope you're having a good day so far I

can say from our perspective we're

having a very good day bloody good day

I'd say we left Y egg this morning on

the first passage of the season actually

it's not a massive 160 hundred 70 miles

over to tobelo and halmahera it's

outside Raja Ampat region it's the first

time I've left there since being in

Indonesia yeah but I'll go back a little

bit the last video sort of ended with

Murray on board and I dropped her off in

sarong about a week ago now and picked

up my youngest brother Toby he's staying

with me for a month there that was about

a week ago now so we spent a couple of

days in sarong I had to get my visa

extended then we had a good sale over

Tibbett unter and found another

waterfall and then had a good sale a

beautiful sail over to yang gallo stayed

there a day and then had an even better

sail up to Y AG from yang glow which was

a 55 mile race we just ripped 910 knots

pretty much the whole way I never been

that fast in this boat had four good

days and wag obviously I've been there a

few times now I've made a few videos I

didn't feel much there this time

but Toby got to see it and actually

discovered a few new places that were

real cool and then you set off this

morning not really to start the passage

to be honest we were going to go to

saying and get some coconuts stay there

a day we came out of wagon the wind was

just good Direction good strength and it

so we just decided to pin it and go to

go all the way over to tobelo

so we're about 30 miles into it now

pretty good winds we're just cruising

along between so we're doing pretty much

eight to nine knots flat out few squalls

around but all good caught four fish so

far while three and a half shark got

half of one yeah it's been it's been

great just reefing every now and again

when a squall comes by at one stage we

just had a reef main one reef in the

main no head sail out and we're still

doing seven and a half knots

I'm loving this boat more and more each

time I sail it I just yeah it's amazing

boat such a small boat 37 foot she she

rips along like in over 40 footer and

safe and smooth and real good anyway

that's the update

right ivy

take we've got a new system out

today we've got the caucus of the last

finished towing it and the shocks are

going crazy for what happened here Toby

Oh didn't quite get a little info on mr.

shaky shock get a good

sunsets gone down we left at 9:30 this

morning and it's seven o'clock now maybe

we think we average probably around

eight maybe a bit more not it's pretty

conservative - I'm gonna reef in the

main the whole day and have it brief in

the jib the whole day but just dream

sailing you know swell thought Fridays

great day

lost no lures gonna cook some dinner

down south through the night and we

should be arriving sometime tomorrow

morning all things being welded some big

clouds around but haven't had a squall

for a couple of hours now and I know

it's probably for hours now since the

night school and we're still just

ticking along at eight knots without

without any effort at all this boat is

just gliding through the water beautiful

one of the best days sailing ever

actually

[Music]

that's more 30 a.m. there but cranking

along still got 30 not to win now 40

degrees for the win so we're healing

over a fair bit and we're smashing off

some waves solid eight and a half nine

knots the whole time we going pretty

good the winds just come around that's

all and it strengthened a lot so you're

bashing a little bit it's been a couple

of ships passed by but not too close so

we haven't changed the sail

configuration still just one reef the

furloughs rolled in a little bit but

she's just handing everything in the

stride pretty well so another hour and a

bit we'll get a bit of light and we'll

see the situation probably another ten

hours to go how crazy is that it's just

20 kilometres from anywhere no land in

sight nothing a little shack out on a

bamboo raft in the middle of this bloody

ocean going up and down just some local

fishermen I guess two people three

people that I can see a couple long

boats so just yeah pretty crazy I don't

know if they'd have lights on at night

but where we can see them the daytime so

it's all good

well we made it to tobelo think we had

about 30 hours right yeah yes the last

eight of it were really slow the first

15 were really fast and then in some in

between but we'd quite a strong wind

over 30 knots 35 knots for a little

while had to put an extra reef and

everything but it was cool managed it

was all good and just couldn't really go

a direct route to tobelo had to take a

bit of a zigzag route so it took a bit

longer but yeah we're here now this city

definitely looked slightly better from a

distance and it does up close but we'll

go and have a wander around there

tomorrow around the city and have a look

go to the market get some more fruit and

veg and then probably peace out and go

and look for somewhere tranquil to

anchor up and go for a snorkel we'll see

I know nothing about this region and

looking forward to finding out

[Music]

[Music]

we're just cruising around what's your

name Amy Amy

good driver cruising around downtown

tobelo

we're just been walking ever and it's

really hot and we got a sick of it so

just going for courage but I'm ready

going anywhere in particular I just

decided to go for

pretty nice way to travel diagnostic

cool

[Music]

well how beautiful is that background

behind me that is the second most active

volcano in the world apparently was it

cool Toby no we don't know you just said

dongho but it's not it's something with

D but we'll find out I'll write it here

anyway well add a cool day today walking

around sabelo it's a pretty small town

but um pretty nice and the locals were

really really friendly they're much

different people here than in Raja Ampat

there though it's pappu and obviously

here it's a my local I think it's good

very friendly no one spoke English

really all day

couple of thousand hello misters but

apart from that not much English but

cool didn't really matter it doesn't you

know their friend do they got big smiles

that it automatically makes them

beautiful and my eyes and yep as you've

seen I put my new drone up the Tobey

bought for me so some nice footage from

that got perfect time of the day for

that say the first flight out over water

obviously out of the way

puts the nerves down a little bit I

didn't want to lose a second drone in a

couple of weeks but yeah I have to thank

Tobey for that because I'll tell you the

story about that quick so I lost the

drone obviously a couple of videos back

and I told you how important the drone

footage is for me for these videos and

there's nowhere in Indonesia really

where I am an Indonesia that you can buy

a drone specially not a new one Goodwin

and Toby was traveling that day from

Australia to meet me here and so I

quickly send him a message a if you find

in an airport somewhere because he was

going through Brisbane barley mikasa

some biggest sort of city so I said if

you can be fun to find a drone just

borrow and I already care much it cost

and so he managed to get a six hour

layover and barley left the airport and

winded town actually bought one two and

a half thousand bucks but I'm really

happy he did because as you can see from

this footage it's well worth it I'm not

rich or anything but I definitely think

it improves my videos a lot and the

photos as well and yeah so I just have

to keep this one out of the water now

which is not that easy because I'm

always flying it off a boat

but I would just be a little bit more

careful when it's windy anyway um

there we go thanks Toby areas good man

and you cut yep you got a haircut today

yeah that's one more thing we did

haircut that's another video done

tomorrow we're heading off to a place

called MIDI MIDI Island

apparently there's a cool little place

down there where we can anchor and maybe

we're going to find a guide and walk up

to this volcano and try and apparently

you can walk up around the crater and

hang out up there and it's throwing big

spit balls of fire at you and that and

so we're gonna try and do that don't

know whether we'll be successful but

we'll see that in the next video thanks

again to all my patrons your legends

it's real cool and to all you people who

watch and comment on my videos and

hopefully share them with your friends

anyway see you next time thanks again

bye bye
