Sailing over to Lembongan last week was a nice fast trip and the one back over to Lombok turned out to be just as fun. Before sailing back though we did rent...

from lombok over to the small island of

limbo

this week we'll show you around the

island of limbo and we see some big

waves

i meet a cow we hear some local music

watch the seaweed farmers working

and then we have an awesome sail back to

lombok

[Music]

[Music]

do

so

well that was so cool we just you know

none of the stuff we're showing you is a

guided tour or

you know sign posted we're just cruising

along the motorbike

saw that turned around stop park the

bike and then filmed it like so cool eh

yeah yeah it's pretty like for me

like if i lose strong emotion like i was

almost crying like the vibration of all

these

sounds and all together in the same

rhythm that was pretty crazy

yeah first it was just the kids and um

obviously the teacher he was off washing

us here and he came back and then he

started really teaching them it was so

cool

and so rad to just see that naturally

and not uh you know it wasn't put on for

tourists

so cool

wow so cool we're here in limbo and we

rented a scooter and

as we always do actually rent scooters

and cruise around the land

but um we sort of imagine this was just

a tourist place it's really close to

bali and along the beach all you see is

villas and fancy things and moonpools

we've actually come across some pretty

cool stuff here in this bay the

seaweed farmers we talked to a couple

and they

used to work in hotels and villas and

snorkeling trips and all that

and there is none of that anymore so

they've all gone back to farming seaweed

and we talked to one guy and he makes 14

000 rupiah which is about 80

cents u.s per kilo of dried seaweed

which is probably a canoe full

of wet seaweed so yeah it's tough going

here but um

they've still got an income but it's

very very hard work for not much money

yeah pretty cool to see how they work

though

not

okay we are on our way back to

lombok now we left limbongan um

an hour or so ago we just got the wind

it's uh i think it's about 27 knots

and straight on the nose we're hard on

30 degrees

we've got a fair old heel on yeah

i'm expecting it to turn slightly more

in our favor as we get out in the middle

of the long box straight

too lazy to wrap up the indiana

paddleboards so i just tied them to the

outside of the lifelines

and so the uh the downhill one is sort

of

skimming through the water it's not very

good but uh

hopefully the wind will turn a bit and

we'll get a little less heal soon

but anyway um yeah we'll just show you

some uh sailing

footage from across here it's pretty

nice beautiful day

okay

um

[Applause]

marie just saw that um i didn't put the

anchor back in its roller

i took it off to the side and tied it up

with a rope so we could have the mooring

boy

line coming over the roller so the

anchor's actually just sort of swaying

around

it's tied up but if the rope would break

it would actually bang into the hull

so i'm going to turn the boat downwind

just to calm things down a bit

and go up the front and fix it up

[Music]

all right that's a bit calmer we're not

healing so much anymore

i'll go up there and fix it up

oh

okay sorted that out turn the boat back

on course

and uh get back up to speed we were

doing 7.8 knots before i stopped so we

were going pretty good

uh

a big bulk carrier heading down to the

west coast in australia

i can see he's going to pla loading area

or something or other i don't know it's

either

probably coal or yeah it's not gas so

it's probably coal or iron ore maybe

on the west coast of australia then

heading up to china it's a big shipping

channel

between lombok and bali so

on the ais i could see him it just held

constant as our meeting point

our point of arrival would have been

about a mile

and we kept our speed and kept our

course and just passed right in front of

them

but yeah quite a big boat

i just want to see your flower here

you're happy and you know it and you

really want to show it if you're happy

and you know it clap your hands

if you're happy and you know it stomp

your

and you know it face your feet

if you're happy and you know it and you

really want to show it if you're happy

and you know it's off your feet

hope you enjoyed this little trip to

limbo with us

some um pretty cool footage there of the

seaweed farmers and uh

i got a new drone second one this year

it's not too bad

lost two last year i downgraded a bit

from the mavic 2

pro i got a mavic air too

bit smaller a little bit less control on

the camera but the footage looks alright
