Location: Makassar Strait
Latitude: -1.62000000

Published: 29 May 2026

After an unforgettable three weeks exploring the vibrant city of Makassar in Sulawesi, we finally cast off for Kalimantan, Borneo and one of the roughest night passages of our cruising life. What should have been a straightforward sail across the Makassar Strait quickly turned into a struggle against strong currents and rough seas that made for an exhausting and uncomfortable overnight passage aboard SV Our Dreamtime.
Join us as we and finally find shelter in a remote reef anchorage deep in the Makassar Strait. This episode captures the reality of cruising, from challenging night sailing and passage making to the relief of reaching a safe anchorage after a very unpleasant passage. If you love sailing adventures, liveaboard cruising, Indonesian travel, offshore passages, remote islands and the unfiltered highs and lows of life at sea, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
