Disaster Strikes at Anchor, Fuel Chaos in Flores & Facing Komodo Dragons | Sailing Indonesia Ep 227

In this unforgettable episode of our sailing adventure through Indonesia, things don’t go as planned.

We kick things off on the rugged island of Flores, the place we decided to refuel. The mission was —lugging jerry cans through town, navigating confusing local systems, and testing our patience every step of the way.

Then, it’s off to the legendary Komodo National Park, where we come face-to-face with the world's largest lizard—the Komodo dragon. Trek through otherworldly landscapes with us as we search for this ancient predator in its natural habitat.

Just as we think we’ve conquered the chaos, disaster strikes. While anchored in a quiet bay, a local boat crashes into us—damaging our bow pulpit and leaving us shocked and scrambling. We share raw footage of the collision, assess the damage, and reveal how we managed to stay calm and take action.

If you’re curious about the real-life challenges of sailing remote Indonesia, this episode has it all: fuel struggles, wildlife encounters, and unexpected danger at sea.
