Sailing Sulawesi: Exciting new Adventures. Ep 264
Sailing around Sualwesi, Indonesia. We sailed through the night on our way to a lovely city called Baubau in South-East Sulawesi. We spent a few days there exploring the amazing 16th century fort, actually the biggest fort in the world. Next we sailed up the Buton Straight and found a beautiful spot to anchor for a few days. We got to show Eli some beautiful coral reef but man, we had a LOT of rain in that week!

What worries me with you swimming in such a beautiful scenic area is that Sulawesi is known for its Sea Crocodiles. Aren't you afraid of swimming in the unknown surroundings. I am sure you have spoken and had fact checked all this out before coming to the area. Great drone shots in this video as well Looking forward to next video

As Vern said, English is my second language and doing voice over in another language is really hard for me as I can’t find the precise words of my mother tongue… but jumping on conclusions of being woke or not, and the way you are commenting it… I hope you are speaking many other languages perfectly to feeling untitled to judge my way of speaking English

      I don't know if they're married or not, but by using the word "partner" I'd assume they're not married, but partners. I'm a 62 year old father of 4 and I refer to my "missus" as my partner, as we're not married. Also we're Aussie's and in our lingo an "old man" is your father, not your fella or bloke. For me 'partner" is the go too in Australia at least

      @@SailingLearningByDoing 1) They should "waste it" by leaving the trees alone, and only harvesting what is necessary for teak wood veneers or other high end furniture/architecture/museum etc. that will be long lasting. In 20 years these boats will be ratty and beat to h3ll and discarded which is a TREMENDOUS and inefficient use of the wood given how much each boat consumes. 2) The boats should be built from a more renewable source, such as pine, fir, oak. 3) These teak trees are a dwindling resource, they should be harvested very selectively, not slashed for immediate and temporary consumption, and alternate sources used, kind of like what the enviro-Nazis are the eco-freaks always screaming bloody murder about with petroleum vs "alternate" energy sources.
