A 70-mile passage down the Papuan coast ends with a wahoo catch and arrival at Kitikiti, a remote bay on the Papua coast of Indonesia.▶ 0:55 Vernon and Marie-Morgane navigate a shallow sandbar and coral bommies near low tide to reach an inner anchorage, lifting the rudders and motoring at two knots to drop the Rocna in 18 meters over deep sand — a 360-degree-protected hole surrounded by jungle.▶ 2:46 The bay holds multiple freshwater springs and waterfalls; local fishermen from Sulawesi queue their boats to refill water tanks between offshore egg-fishing runs.▶ 5:03 The crew explores by dinghy — a 3.1-meter Highfield with a 15-horsepower two-stroke that planes at 20 knots with two adults, a child, and jerry cans — covering several miles around the bay.▶ 4:05 Vernon scrambles 100 meters around a rock face and finds a large freshwater spring emerging from a cliff base, unmarked on Navionics or any chart.▶ 12:59 The family swims in a cold freshwater pool at low tide on a beach invisible at high water.▶ 11:41 The next passage, 25 miles to an unvisited anchorage with a waterfall, is planned for the following day.▶ 15:58 A capable, fast dinghy is identified as essential for exploring remote anchorages where the mothership cannot go.▶ 3:40
