After spending 20 days in Sorong, Indonesia, performing mechanical repairs in extreme heat, the crew of Learning By Doing departs for the Raja Ampat archipelago. The vessel, a sailing catamaran, underwent significant maintenance including the installation of new alternators, a gearbox, a propeller shaft, and a rudder. Despite initial engine start-up failures caused by wiring errors, both engines are fully operational for the 40-mile passage to the anchorage at Friwen. During the transit, the crew encounters a large pod of whales and catches a mackerel using a hand line equipped with a shock-absorbing bungee. Upon arrival at Friwen, the boat anchors in 26 meters of water, with 80 meters of chain and rode deployed to achieve a 3.5:1 scope. The crew reports the vessel is 90% functional, pending the arrival of a new clutch cone from Australia.
