2500 Miles in 2 MINUTES | Malaysia to Indonesia on an OYSTER SAILBOAT | Sailing Ep 338

This is it, we've reached The End. A few months and 2500 miles from Malaysia to Indonesia later, we arrived at our destination, Medana Bay

It's been incredible, incomparable and, at times, impossible. Broken engine mounts, snapped deck fittings, dirty fuel, charging problems, snagged props, 40-knot storms, and five diesel filters later, we wonder if the stress and anxiety are worth it.
But then we remember that the exhilarating sailing, beautiful people, and remarkable new cultures are why we sought out this lifestyle back in 2004.
