James departs Marina del Rey marina near Lombok solo aboard Triteia after crew member Rhonda flies back to New Zealand, beginning a push northwest through Indonesia toward Malaysia.0:28 Before leaving, he takes on 65 gallons of diesel, anticipating 1,200–1,500 miles of motoring with legs ranging from 100 to 320 nautical miles.1:09 The 32-nautical-mile crossing of the Lombok Strait to North Bali produces breaking waves in 100-foot-deep water — no charted hazard, but strong current and overfalls from the strait's tidal flow.3:59 Triteia crosses the Wallace Line, the biogeographic boundary running from the Indian Ocean to the Philippine Sea that separates Asian fauna (tigers, orangutans) from Australasian fauna (marsupials, komodo dragons), discovered by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1854.6:09 A rest-stop anchorage near a volcano proves rolly; James deploys a drogue and dinghy anchor as a roll stabilizer and sleeps well.7:58 The next 45-nautical-mile leg reaches Lovina Beach on Bali's north coast, where roughly 70 unlighted bamboo FADs crowd the approaches — making night arrivals and coastal night passages dangerous throughout Indonesia.8:10 Ashore at Lovina, James provisions at a Western-stocked grocery store and observes Balinese Hindu daily offerings.11:01
