O que este vídeo aborda
Solo sailor Pablo decides to skip the Indian Ocean crossing this season after consulting weather advisors, citing the November hurricane season start and already-forming tropical depressions.0:25 Instead, he sails from Bali toward Phuket, Thailand, routing along Java's north coast, through the Sunda Strait, up Sumatra's coast, and through the Strait of Malacca — one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.2:14
The passage covers roughly 40–50 miles per day under motor and sail, with daily squalls reaching 20–28 knots and lightning.33:30 The Java Sea presents constant hazards: dense fishing fleets, floating log islands that snag the boat and break both boathooks, fishing net buoys strung with submerged lines threatening the propeller, and heavy plastic debris.29:55 Currents in the Bali–Java strait run hard against, slowing the boat to under two knots before easing.6:14 At Jepara, on Java's north coast, he stops to refuel from jerry cans and resupply.32:35 A furler profile repair requires climbing the mast at sea after two aluminum extrusion sections separate and lose their joining screws.38:05 The Prediwin app guides current timing through the Bali–Java passage.6:03 Whales, a turtle, and sharks appear en route.4:13
Skipping an Indian Ocean crossing due to late-season tropical depression risk and routing through Southeast Asian coastal waters instead demands constant vigilance against debris, fishing gear, and daily squalls.
