What this video covers
Parlay Revival departs a cyclone-sheltered anchorage on Sumatra's northwest coast and motor-sails 80 miles north — 80% under engine — after surviving Cyclone Senya's 30–40 knot winds and heavy rain.0:42 The crew anchors near a surf break off a remote island where charts prove unreliable, showing land where a navigable channel actually exists.2:58 Dirty post-cyclone water forces them to skip the watermaker and buy 120 liters from A-Frames Resort at $1 per 20 liters rather than motoring 5–10 miles offshore for clean water.4:38 A bridle chafe issue is repaired using 316 stainless steel hardware; the boat runs an Ultra Anchor and Roller, Chromox chain, and Maxwell windlass.6:29 Crew member Chris, who sells bidets on Amazon under the brand Bumbuddy, installs a bum gun aboard by tapping into the sink line with two adapters, since the hand-pump toilets carry no fresh water to the heads.11:23 Water-use testing shows roughly half a liter per use; Colin decides to keep it installed for hygiene and to cut toilet paper consumption on a boat that burns through dozens of rolls with a full crew.13:28 The passage ends at Sabang, where the crew clears out of Indonesia after sailing over 5,000 miles from Biak — the full length of the country.22:16
