Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Sailing NV's family and five crew depart Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, aboard Envy — an ex-Mini Globe race boat — on the first long passage since baby Tao was born, crossing the South China Sea toward the Anambas Islands and Singapore Strait.1:07 The boat had just completed a major refit including a new engine and new systems; flat seas and light winds forced extended motoring, which the upgraded engine handled quietly.1:54 The first stop, Pulau Tiga National Park off Borneo's coast, offered a mud-volcano hike, jungle wildlife including long-tailed macaques, hornbills, monitor lizards, and occasional crocodiles, and a closed resort whose caretaker provided coconuts and pool access.3:27 The more serious challenge came at a remote overnight anchorage in 10 meters of water surrounded by abandoned fishing platforms — submerged pylons, broken poles, and possible ghost nets scattered across a 10-mile approach.8:19 Envy carries a deep keel; the crew navigated slowly in fading light, nearly striking one submerged pole.10:03 The episode closes on a cliffhanger: something undetected happened at that anchorage overnight.11:59 Abandoned fishing structures in shallow Borneo coastal waters present a genuine fouling and collision hazard for deep-keel boats, especially after dark.
