Great episode, the Lombok wildlife parks looks like a great place to visit. Your making me realise that we're going to be clicking u a few hours on the new boat soon! Where's the wind?

Thanks guys.. 😊

24:55 well all the animals look happy enough.. i normally avoid animal parks, but that one seems okay.. 👍

Thanks for the great episode. Nice to see you with ‘Sailing, Learning by doing shirt’. Supporting fellow Aussie sailors 👍

That was a really good review, thank you very much.

Epic

fantastic guys, what a magical encounter

Thank-you for such a good review. Your video had solidified my choice for a necked Rainman watermaker on my boat.

Just stunning guys, something we would love to do. Living the dream is what it is all about.

Why the very noisy music. Liked your blog.

WOW! what an amazing experience - so many whale sharks. Love the Princess Diana falls - its on our buckletlist, would love to go there one day!

Wow

Very nice, Thanks guys.. 😊

Great video 😂❤. What is that beautiful song at the end? Magic

That's more whale sharks than I've ever seen on video. Some day I plan on seeing them in person.

Nice video guys. interesting locations and great filmmaking.

Maybe get some microphones

19:41 very cool! 😎.

Thanks guys!

Please continue these videos. You are living my ideal life.

👌⛵️

That was a pretty thorough review though I would like to have had a ballpark purchase figure. That said, I think this review was an excellent advertisement for Rainmaker and it's products and services. Good luck for tomorrow.

SUPERGLUE and some large gauge Hypo needles can re-glue the rubber bushing in your prop. (make sure the prop is COMPLETELY DRY)

Thank you for your video, but there are a few issues. We have been sailing in Indonesia for nearly 12 months and it has been a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it. But below are some comments that relate to OUR experience here:- Charts. Navionics charts are variable. The major ports that we have been to, we have found that the charts have been quite accurate. At the other end of the spectrum, at the Bonarates we found them to be up to 1.5 miles out!! The recommendation is that one needs to check. Cleaning vinegar. Australian food grade vinegar is about 4-5% Acetic Acid. Cleaning vinegar is about 6% Acetic Acid. We have bought here in Indonesia, vinegar that 25% Acetic Acid!! It was bought at a supermarket. Vinegar is obtainable. If you want your travel insurance to cover you to drive a vehicle, then you must have a FULL license for the class of vehicle that you wish to drive. Provisional licenses are not normally good enough. We have one of the blue shopping trolleys and it has been most useful. It will carry 4 jerry cans, but it does not enjoy rough surfaces. Diesel. 3 grades - BioSolar, DexLite and Dex. You do NOT want BioSolar in your tank - it stinks!! It is quite hydroscopic (absorbes water) and may clog your filters, or worse, you injectors and pump. DexLite is still pretty "ordinary" and can be up to 1,500ppm of Sulphur. It can leave a black stain on the outside of your boat and the Racor filters clog quickly. Dex is the stuff you want. It is "only" 50ppm of Sulphur and does not stain our boat or clog our filters. Australian diesel is 10ppm of sulphur. ATMs. These things can be readily found in many small towns and, of course, larger ones. There is a transaction limit of 1, 2 or 2.5 million Rupiah. There is a transaction limit at all of the ATMs that we have used. You can just insert your card again to get more cash. This has been our experience. We have, only rarely, found empty machines, but there is normally another machine close by. Check your bank charges as charges vary between banks. CBA is very expensive. In our time here travelling, Maluku, Flores, Lombok, Sulawesi (North, South and West), Raja Ampat, Komodo, Halmahera, East Kalimantan and West Papua, we have never had to stern tie. We have 100m of chain and can anchor in 30m quite happily. Yes, we have to chose carefully. We prefer to anchor so that we get a breeze through the boat. Booze. On entry, we said that our extensive supply of alcohol we have on board is "ships stores". We said that it stays on board, it is not taken ashore and we NEVER give alcohol to locals. We have found that beer, gin, vodka, rum or even Arak are readily available in supermarkets in most places. The locally made spirits are relatively cheap at about AUD30 per bottle. Imported stuff is a different story. Beer is about AUD50 a case of 330ml cans. There are many sources of really good information. Examples are Indonesian Compendium (Soggy Paws), Zulu Offshore (as you mentioned) and the Sailing SE Asia Information Sharing Facebook site. To a lesser extent, there is No Foreign Land and the Cruising Guide to Indonesia by Andy Scott. It should be noted that you should dress conservatively when ashore. If you are going to see officials, then cover up!! Long trousers, collared shirts and shoes for men and below the knee skirts/dresses for the ladies. Remember to be polite, patient and smile even if you are frustrated. It will get sorted out in the end!!

I want one for my 4wd expedition vehicle, and also for my boat. So I guess the petrol version is best..... but also as my RV will be 100% electric, solar.....am I better off having a 240v that uses an inverter, and get the high output, so doesn't take that much power to fill a 200 liter tank.....

fabulous sometimes revisting experiences candi disappoint but int this instance "same but different" which happens to be Aldi new slogan 😆

Wakatobi Island, Beautiful ❤️

Nice episode very helpful Selina and I are planning a trip in 2026 . Cheers from Lady Quintessa.

Wow, what an experience, not just Komodos but Rays too. This really is a fantastic life isn't it? Great episode R & K 🥰⛵️

Thanks guys.. very nice! 😊

Thanks guys! My list of “can’t get items” in SEA is growing waaay too fast! Scared of our final shop in Cairns next week!

Navionics now also has satellite imagery. Is there a problem with that?

Hi Dream Time, just stumbled across your channel, thumbs up & subscriber now. We're heading off to Indo again soon, this time to the Raja Ampat, then on to the Philippines via Palau or Sulawesi. How are you finding Sulawesi as far as a safe cruising ground on the way to the Philippines? Which route would you recommend safety wise. It's a no brainer Sulawesi will be more scenic & easier day sailing. Guessing the n/e trades won't be a problem in that area. We usually sail 2 up & We're a 13.4mt Sailing cat. We've already been held up once at gun point in PNG so we're a bit gun shy. All good advice from already having sailed Indonesian waters, we can only mirror your sentiments. Sail safe, we've Gotcha Covered Ian & Margie

You rock!!! keep it up, amazing adventures!

Excellent. Thanks

those rubber bushings on the prop....they're replaceable

Great video and really useful tips! 👏🏻🙌🏻

Thanks guys and 👍 up!

I thought the only charges, when using your wise card at the ATM. Were the atm withdrawal fee, NO BS bank fee.

Loved the tips! I hadn’t thought about the trolley, spare prop, motorcycle license or something like Western Union. Some really good advice. Jay has his motorcycle license but I’ve been thinking of getting mine for ages and now you’ve made up my mind. Hopefully we’ll be out there cruising Indo ourselves in the not too distant future.

Can get get things like cauliflower and almonds readily in indo?

Many thanks... Very useful

Well done for mentioning Western Union, Money gram is another very similiar option. While riding motorbikes thoughout SE Asia these have, at times, been indespensable resources and have literally saved me from sleeping on the streets. Agencies for these services are prolific almost anywhere in Asia.

Regarding riding motorcycles. To comply with local laws in most places you will also need an International Drivers Permit (IDP) to accompany your motorcycle license. An IDP is available from your (Australian) state motoring body (NRMA?) for around $50 (last time I got one). That's good advice regarding checking your travel insurance policy as some will cover up to 250cc, some will cover less or not at all. If you're Australian and want to ride something bigger there is an "Adventure Pack" that will provide cover from Alliance or have a look at Global Nomads insurance if you're not Australian. And finally and very seriously, SE Asia is not the place to learn to ride a motorcycle. Don't become a Go-Fund-Me page.

Really useful. Thank you

Hi thanks really appreciate your advice.

Thank you, very informative and well presented.

TZI Boat is the best
