After five years of cruising Southeast Asia, the crew of the 36-ft monohull Catalpa decides to sell their vessel in Ambon, Indonesia, to pursue long-term global sailing on a larger, more ocean-capable boat.4:05 The owners prepare the boat for sale by decluttering, varnishing, and ensuring the engine and rigging are in excellent condition.7:17 When a potential sale falls through after two weeks of negotiations, the owners abandon the listing and join friends aboard the catamaran Nalakai to sail toward the Banda Islands.14:09 The transit across the Banda Sea involves motoring in 15 knots of wind with a south-southwest swell.38:34 Upon arrival at the Banda Islands, the crew anchors at Gunung Api and explores the historical spice trade sites, including the Nutmeg Estate.44:23 The trip concludes with a strenuous two-hour hike to the summit of the active volcano, Gunung Api.1:00:08 Selling a boat in a remote location requires flexibility, as local market conditions and buyer reliability can force sudden changes to long-term travel plans.
