Sailboat glides past waterfall-framed village on tropical shore
Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of Sailing NV navigates a multi-day passage through remote Indonesian islands, threading reefs, shallow coral patches, and narrow channels with uncertain chart accuracy. Timo, who planned the route, describes plotting dozens of waypoints through what he calls the DMV gorge — a coral-lined passage where he could only deploy 30 meters of chain in the final anchorage due to surrounding reef.▶ 2:16 Charts throughout the area show green (shallow or drying) on all sides, so the crew treats them as guides only, departing early each day to move slowly and keep a visual watch.▶ 0:41 The boat, an Open 66 with a five-meter draft, is the kind of vessel others have said cannot safely navigate Pacific coral regions; Timo notes they continue to do it anyway, calling it "a little bit scary."▶ 5:03 After clearing one reef entrance, the crew spots an unexpected waterfall dropping directly to the sea.▶ 5:47 Ashore they find a village on stilts and hike to the waterfall's source through jungle, using it to wash their hair — the watermaker has been out of action for over a year.▶ 6:10 The crew has now spent a year and a half in Indonesia across their voyaging.▶ 9:26
