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]

they're green it helps us fall between
