83 year old man swimming with Manta Rays - Sailing Papua - Learning By Doing Ep76

I set off for a 15 days Solo passage to Indonesia from Kavieng, PNG.
I have some great sailing, hit the usual squalls that give me a pounding but also cool me down and catch a few fish on route to a stop-over at Hermit Islands. I anchor right at the head of Manta Pass, aptly named indeed! I swim each day off my boat and get my mind blown by the huge graceful Mantas circling underneath. One of my most memorable experiences to date. Enjoy!
