Our poor sailboat sustained some damage when a squall blew us onto a reef. Repairing Trade Runner meant hauling the boat out of the water and in Indonesia this can be fraught with danger as the facilities are a bit sketchy. It wouldn't be till the boat was on land before I would fully know what...

Thanks for watching
Sailing from the tiny remote island of Savu to the famous Komodo National Park, Indonesia. I love it when you finish a passage without breaking anything and can just really enjoy the place you've arrived at. We chilled a couple of days at Rinca in Komodo then pushed on 230nm to Ekas in Lombok...
A quick flight around the wine fields and lake Geneva in Valais, Switzerland Paradise
