On the move again
We spent 12 days in the marina hanging out with the awesome crew (Caz, Milla, Ziggy, and Hamish for just one night) of SV Cooeyanna, cleaning, and preparing to leave. Riki replaced our windlass with the new one. One day we decided to walk around the island of Gili Gede — a “2 hour walk”…

Well-traveled chips
Before we left the boat in late June, there were about 11 bags of various and sundry chips that I tried to give away. I didn’t want to leave them on board for two months, as I was afraid of tempting vermin or insects. All of the chips were kinds that I had only bought…

2 weeks in Japan
On our way back to the boat we stopped in Japan. We visited Disneyland Japan in Tokyo, Warner Bros. Studio Tour to the Making of Harry Potter in Tokyo, and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.

Movie Time!
Make some popcorn, watch on your big screen (I believe phone viewing doesn’t capture the magnitude of the ocean and the subjects). Here are some videos of recent wildlife encounters. If you are having trouble viewing on the blog here is a direct link to the YouTube page https://youtube.com/@svguavajelly?si=Fv1O_42fUJ6mGmKl Jade, Luz and I had an…

Waterfalls and Orang-utans
Our visa extensions got approved! Whew! We had to give them some additional documents, but it worked out. We had a lovely time on Moyo Island, where we visited two amazing waterfalls and met a nice family who has recently moved from St. Croix to Bali. We hired 3 guys to take us 6 km…

Komodo Dragons, Manta Rays and more
In May we continued adventuring south. We visited the Blue Lagoon at Labengke and had a lovely refreshing (even got cold!) swim. After an overnight sail, we arrived at Wangi Wangi, in Wakatobi National Park. We docked at a free marina, and ended up staying for a week! Yes, free marina. No power or water,…
