Do We Take Too Many Risks? | Hauling Out Our Open 66 in Remote Borneo | S2 Ep 63

After weeks of delays and bad weather, we’re finally hauling out our Open 66 in remote North Borneo — to replace the engine we’ve been struggling with for months. But this isn’t just any haul out...

With a 4.5m draft and a boatyard that’s not equipped for deep-keel boats, we had to get creative. Timo came up with a modified strap system to make the lift possible — and we had to work closely with the crew to adapt the yard’s setup to safely support our boat on the hard.

It’s our third haul out since owning this boat, and our second in this yard — but it’s definitely the riskiest. With our two kids, our dog, and the whole family living aboard, we’re starting to ask: are we taking on too much?

📸 Plus, it’s Nemo’s birthday… and he just got a special gift that might change the way we make these videos.

Join us behind the scenes of our engine swap journey — and life on the hard in a remote corner of Southeast Asia.
