Follow in Our Wake - Indonesia (Part 1)
This EBook guide details our sailing journey in Indonesia during 2023/2024. It is meant to complement, not replace, existing Pilot Guides on the region. While Pilot Guides and boating apps are valuable, our eBook includes details on local attractions, contacts for assistance, and practical tips like fuel stations and markets. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive guide for sailors, akin to a Lonely Planet for the sea.
Our travels have taken us to lesser-known areas within the sailing community, and we have documented this information along the way, creating this interactive EBook "Follow in Our Wake" - Indonesia (Part 1). Even if you don't follow our exact route, the content in this EBook will be valuable for many areas you may sail to.
Starting from our last anchorage in Australia, through Indonesia, and ending in Puteri Harbour, Malaysia , the book traces our SE Monsoon journey from July 2023 to November 2023, transitioning into the NW Monsoon from December 2023, and navigating the Equatorial Regions of North Sulawesi, returning to the SE Monsoon Season from April to September 2024. It covers total of 5,939 nautical miles (11,000 kilometers) over 423 days.
In addition to the EBook, which includes links to extra information contained in Blogs and YouTube Episodes, we provide a comprehensive overview of the regions we explored. This EBook goes beyond anchoring locations, offering:
- Anchorage positions and notes
- Weather conditions
- Interactive tracks between anchorages
- Waypoints and depths
- Navigation hazards
- Passage making and mileage
- Insights on anchorages
- Brief history and cultural information
- Points of interest in each area
- Contacts for tours or local assistance, general information
- Recommendations for markets, laundry services, and dinghy docks, with maps for precise locations.
- There is a separate GPX file that you can download for free, at checkout you will be asked if you wish to download load it. This file contains all of the tracks if you are using other programs other than Navionics it will be useful.
This guide caters to both sailors and travellers, reflecting our dual identity as both. We truly hope you enjoy your time in this beautiful country. It really has spectacular destinations and the people’s kindness outshines any small irritations you may encounter. We are keen photographers, videographers and story tellers, this EBook combined with our blogs, YT Episodes and photos we hope encourages you to spend more time in this beautiful country.
Cheers R&K
