Our holiday from our holiday…
Sometimes you just need a break from the endless grind of truck life! I’m joking of course, but this holiday was booked before we started our overlanding adventure. Honest. Really!
We parked Big Bertha at the Iberican Overlanders and departed Madrid bound for West Papua in Indonesia for a cruise around Raja Ampat onboard the Ombak Putih.
We had a splendid time on this ‘adventure sailing’ trip – snorkeling most days (turtles, manta rays, sharks, jelly fish lake, pristine coral and so many fish!), visiting villages, and trekking into the jungle to view the famous and endemic Birds of Paradise.
It was so nice to experience the warm weather, away from the cold European winter. We came back refreshed and tanned.
This has been our third cruise with Seatrek and we can thoroughly recommend this sailing adventure. It really should be on everyone’s bucket list!!
Looking great Francine! You’re not to bad, Dave! xx Have a happy Christmas!
That is a most stunning way to end 2019!!
We are wondering how you were planning on getting Big Bertha to Canada!!!?
Love the Amazing photos…pretty sure we aren’t the only ones with a green eyed dragon as we couch travel along with you1
Safe Travels!
Bill and Gabrielle

My idea of heaven, cruising in warm seas on a beautiful sailboat… When I win the lottery maybe! Looks fabulous. And you two look like you’re in a Bond movie, esp in yr wetsuits. Enjoy your continuing adventures. I’m eager for more! Happy New Year to you both. xx
