Camille Milligan and Jesse, an American-Australian couple, bought a sailboat in Malaysia with minimal sailing experience after 18 months working in Australian mines to save the money.1:09 The six-month recap covers their progression from dockbound beginners to a Malaysia-to-Thailand passage, sailing at the end of monsoon season.
Immediately after moving aboard, a gearbox oil leak forced an engine removal and two-week parts wait.3:11 Subsequent marina work included shaft realignment, bilge pump replacement, electronics sorting, and anchor chain remarking.6:21 First-sail problems included a non-engaging gearbox selector and a fouled prop from a fishing net.5:58 A blocked holding tank exploded during their first overnight anchor.10:42 A box jellyfish sting required a hospital visit and exposed gaps in their medical kit.13:54 A rigging error by their rigger caused the headsail to jam and refuse to furl in 40-knot winds, forcing an underway mast climb to drop it manually.18:11 Major upgrades installed before the Thailand passage included new rigging, davits, solar, and a full electrical system overhaul.14:39 The passage north covered island-hopping along the Langkawi and Krabi coastline, hitting 8 knots, clearing Malaysian customs, and sailing into Thailand.21:16 They plan to haul out for antifouling before continuing to Indonesia.24:29
