What this video covers

Camille and Jesse pick up Victoria, an Instagram follower traveling through Indonesia who had never sailed before, and take her aboard Stella for a stretch of surfing, spearfishing, and coastal exploration in Indonesia's dry season — which delivered more rain than sun.2:21 The couple also sails alongside Matt and Grace, liveaboards on Gypsy Soul, who first taught Camille and Jesse to sail back in Malaysia.3:29 The crew of six reaches one surf break by anchoring in a nearby bay, taking the tender to the beach, and walking the rest of the way because the water is too shallow to anchor close.3:59 During a spearfishing session, an unexpected six-to-eight-foot set breaks on the reef directly over the snorkeling divers; Camille, already in the tender due to sea lice, motors clear of the wave.12:14 Matt spears two coronation trout, enough to feed everyone with leftovers.12:05 The crew also runs a provisioning stop ashore for fresh fruit, vegetables, and snacks.16:32 Custom-built davits on Stella, fabricated in Malaysia, carry the full quiver of surfboards.8:22 The episode closes with a tease of the next passage: crossing the equator and the King Neptune ceremony.21:57
