A solo sailor aboard the 29-year-old Crowther Wind Speed catamaran *Learning By Doing* completes a 320-mile passage from La Bombajo, Indonesia, to Pasawajo in South Sulawesi.23:35 Departing during the transition season between the Northwest monsoon and the onset of easterlies, the sailor utilizes a four-day westerly wind window to maximize eastward progress.1:48 The vessel maintains an average speed of 6 to 8 knots, occasionally deploying a 20-square-meter screecher in 10 to 15 knots of true wind.12:41 To maintain safety while solo, the sailor douses the screecher at night and relies on AIS and radar for collision avoidance, noting that local commercial vessels in the region often ignore standard port-to-port passing rules.21:44 During the transit, the sailor catches a Mahi Mahi and bypasses a potential anchorage at Bonerate to capitalize on favorable wind forecasts.18:29 The passage concludes with a successful arrival in Pasawajo, with plans to continue toward Wakatobi and eventually Raja Ampat.23:19 Prioritizing favorable wind windows over intermediate stops preserves fuel and ensures consistent progress during solo passages.
