A cruising catamaran sustains damage to a daggerboard after striking a large floating log while sailing toward Indonesia.3:06 The crew later encounters an unlit fishing net extending from an offshore oil platform, forcing them to maneuver under motor to avoid entanglement in strong currents.6:03 During the transit, the crew manages recurring issues with an unfurling screecher sail and performs maintenance, including 3D printing replacement parts for window frames and a rope cabinet hinge.14:23 They also service a stiff line driver, noting the difficulty of reassembling its internal ball bearings.17:01 The passage involves navigating through dense fields of seaweed farms and significant marine debris, which frequently fouls the engine’s water intake and the dinghy propeller.7:41 After completing several drift dives near a resort island, the crew proceeds toward Nunukan, Indonesia, where they coordinate with local authorities for customs and immigration clearance.24:56 The vessel maintains approximately 80% of its upwind performance with a single functional daggerboard.13:27
