What this video covers

The crew of the 38-ft sailboat *Triteia* reprovisions in Bajo, Flores Island, Indonesia, while preparing for a passage to Komodo National Park.1:23 The anchorage offers 20-foot depths over a sand bottom.4:29 To avoid the physical labor of transporting fuel via dinghy to a distant shore-side station, the crew purchases 112 liters of diesel directly from a local fuel-delivery boat.16:06 The vendor charges 22,500 IDR per liter, significantly higher than the 13,200 IDR rate at the government-owned land station, but the crew accepts the premium to avoid multiple trips with heavy jerry cans.20:06 They use Navionics to locate a reverse osmosis water-filling station near the petrol dock and utilize local shopping trolleys to transport groceries and water jugs to the dinghy.23:35 The crew struggles with a failing inflatable dinghy that requires constant inflation and suffers from unpatchable leaks, complicating shore-side logistics.28:43 They plan to seek repair materials in Lombok.29:21
