Finally free from Quarantine we sail far from the nearest village to the beautiful Wayag. This will be are base for the coming month and we find the most amazing anchorage right away. My drone didn't seem to like the spot though and promptly flew into a bush which saw me risking my life to try and find her. We also went Manta hunting and discovered a deserted fishing camp. Enjoy!

good morning everyone and welcome to
another episode of learning by doing in
this episode we have finally free of the
quarantine and we head up to why egg the
paradise in Raja Ampat we get situated
in the most perfect little Anchorage and
then I promptly manage to crash my drone
into a cliff we also explored a
fisherman's camp and then you had some
awesome interactions with some huge
mantas enjoy hello hello we are free
wherein why egg and it is very freakin
hot here there is zero when the good
thing about it's a great smooth
Anchorage but that also means the zero
wind in here and we're just cooking so
we're going to go and check out another
Anchorage I found a potential one but we
need to go and see how deep it is so now
it's low tide we're going to jump in the
dinghy and cruise around there and drop
a weight and check out the depth and see
if this Anchorage is suitable
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so this is the potential Anchorage it's
a beautiful sandy bottom to beaches and
we might get a bit of wind from the
north that's what we're hoping it might
be slightly cooler so I'm going to do to
measure the depth is just tire tire the
dinghy painter through this three mile
white belt here and just drop that over
and sort of measure the depth two and a
half meters mm a bit close still we have
drifted in we'll go out a bit further
and see if it's a bit deeper another
half a meter or one meter would be nice
[Music]
all meters perfect so we're gonna go
back to there sure hey Leon and rip the
anchor out of the ground and bring it
around here I think looks like a
beautiful spot what do you think yeah I
really like it well go and show you
something else there's millions of birds
really beautiful sounding birds nesting
on this little island they'll be our
neighbors we're going look at him now
so we are arriving and this is our new
garden yeah it's always nice when you
can see the anchor all the way to the
bottom I think we've got seven meters of
water here look at this beautiful hello
I'm pretty worried right now
venom crush the jail so it just stay
stuck in a tree so somewhere here
I can still see him so I think he's okay
say yeah I'm waiting for him I learn on
the beach it's not the really bad place
but I really hope you will find it and
not hurting himself cos it's pretty like
climbing thing not a key so I'm gonna
let you know we find it and if it's
still okay moment
well amazing view up here here in Y egg
look at this place is amazing and you
won't be able to see it but there's two
manta ray is just swimming down there my
boat down the front there beautiful
beach over that side incredible
incredible place but this is not the
normal look out I've spend I spend an
hour walking straight up from down there
vertical cliff probably one of the
sketchiest things I've done in my life
I'm really tired now I used all my
adrenaline coming up and I think going
down is gonna be even harder but what am
i I'm up here you ask if it's that
difficult
my bloody drone just decided to leave me
we were getting along so good and then I
was filming Marie on the stand up pedal
coming into the beach we had it all
planned we're going to put up the
hammock we're going to go jungle hopping
snorkeling we had snacks and drinks and
a book and it was going to be a
beautiful day and she just set off
filming and then the drone just drifted
over a little bit and Papa into a bush
into a tree and I could just see the
tree in the footage it's the first time
that I crashed not in the water so I
figured well this one I've at least got
to go and look for because it's not a
thousand meters under the water
but man what a mission and the good
thing is I found it I'm happy to have
the drone back I'll have to give it a
stern talking-to now and probably put it
under bloody quarantine that's what you
do here put under quarantine for 14 days
but now we'll get on again it's fine but
yeah so now going to make my way down
it's pretty hectic I'm going to take it
really really slowly because I don't
have much energy
so actually after two hours maybe you
found it
[Applause]
hey you can see the beach down there you
can see Murray sitting on the stand-up
paddle and the dinghy down there and
yeah I came straight up from here at
palm tree basically straight up here now
I've got to figure out how to get down
because I can't quite remember where I
came up anyway I'm gonna put the camera
away now I think this is probably not
the right time to be filming when I'm
trying to concentrate but uh yeah wish
me luck
[Music]
we won't have the wonderful thing in
this Anchorage was really the animal's
life I spend a lot of time to observe
them and the jungle was pretty
accessible and I could spend a lot of
time to try to catch some footages of
them
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Becca indeed
[Music]
[Music]
we found a little fisherman village here
at the end of the bay
I've been down on this beach before but
there obviously been a few families here
there's quite a a lot of things around
and yet obviously they still like eating
turtle which is which is fine to be
honest it's yeah they're endangered but
in this part of the world these sort of
nomadic fishermen they've just they're
gonna have what they can have
maybe they notice that there's less
turtles now than there was 20 years ago
but I'm sure they don't really know that
it's a big problem and to be honest what
species in the ocean isn't endangered
right now just turtles are breathe air
so we obviously associate them more with
humans than with fish but yeah look
here's a couple of the breastplates but
yeah I'll show you around here though
they have quite a nice we're building a
little village this will be their bed so
there be a top strung up between these
poles and that'll be the sleeping place
and then they've got the drawing fish
some of these places you come in there's
just plastic and everywhere but
they've actually sort of taken care of
it here they obviously burn the stuff
these are all tents they'll just put a
tarp over over these poles it's
everywhere drying racks for fish so they
obviously come here and catch a heap of
fish dry at all and then then they'll go
down to the nearest village and sell it
it would be my guess and that's sort of
their lifestyles over here on that side
there's a whole heap of tent spots
probably another five or six families
over there and yeah what a beautiful
spot to be and can't really ask for a
better place and way way down there you
can see sure Holly unanchored very big
yeah as I said they'll pretty eat
anything they can get around here and
they're fair enough they probably don't
bring much with them so there may be
some flour and sugar and and tobacco and
maybe tea or coffee
and then the rest everything gets
provided here by the ocean I'm sure they
they rummage around up in the forest and
find all sorts of good things they know
exactly which tree provides what
breadfruit up in the trees is probably
all sorts of things here so they
probably just come here and stay four or
five weeks
been teaching Murray how to drive the
dinghy today she's doing pretty good not
very confident though let's go
I'm not driving you need to feel
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Hey
look it up soon down
[Music]

dinner
