What this video covers

Kalli sails remote eastern Indonesia, stopping at Gorong Island — where few cruising boats call — before a rough overnight passage to Kampong Mas with 35-knot winds and a broken autopilot forcing hand-steering for hours.0:48 The anchorage at Kampong Mas sits in a 20-metre-deep blue hole surrounded by coral; the crew snorkels with turtles and large reef fish before a tide change pushes floating plastic and wood debris through the anchorage.9:35 A local fisherman directs them 12 nautical miles to a mainland river system for mud crabs, warning of crocodiles.10:21 They anchor in the Mung Group area near West Papua, spot a fresh crocodile slide on the bank, set five crab pots overnight, and find every pot empty the next morning.14:48 A dinghy exploration of a creek leads to an abandoned sawmill — machinery, stacked timber, and a broken jetty — deep in the mangroves with no apparent way to move the lumber out.16:31 The crocodile is never seen.
