Indonesian people are very friendly, I am very happy that you can enjoy the scenery in Indonesia.
The Bugis - once the feared "Bugi men " of the high seas, now the enthusiastic and welcoming fishermen . Great content - thank you for sharing your adventures in Sulawesi !
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Marie. At least you can pull up anchor! The people are fabulous but so is the peace on your own. It’s one of the most stressful times when kids are sick. Thanks for letting us live through your adventures. 💜
Thank you so much! I glad that you liked this episode ❤
That’s one great thing about boat life, you can just up stakes and go.
Being an ambassador suits you very well. And little Eli makes the perfect icebreaker.
He is our little star for sure ! Locals are loving him !
Yeah Eli wins us the star treatment every time.
I love the authentic nature of your videos…no bullshit, just real… You guys did well to cope with all the attention. It would wear most westerners thin.. lol… I think I would have run a mile… but I’m a hermit. I appreciate the rawness & reality of your videos, so lacking in social media these days. Thank you for letting us see the raw beauty of people & the planet. Keep, keeping it real!!!, great work as always - Best Wishes
Thank you so much 😊 We are trying our best to share our adventures how they are, and not sugar coated ⛵️🏝️
Thanks Dale. Personally I can’t stand social media these days. It’s like everyone has just accepted that everything is fake and go along with it. The algorithms reward you when you fake drama and emotions. We will continue to keep it really and just hope we don’t end up like the dinosaurs.
Thank you Marie for your vision and touch on this video.your perspective is beautiful! The camera and drone shots are remarkable. Thank you both for you work in sharing your life of travel sailing.
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks Rico, glad you enjoyed that one. Marie put in a lot of hours on this edit, juggling feeding and looking after Eli. Very proud of her.
Nice to see Eli recovered. WOnderful friendly people. Such a change from our increasingly isolated communities that are suspicious of visitors. Beautiful sunset shots. Maybe have some school supplies or craft projects to hand ?
Yes it was bitter sweet to leave such a special place.
What a great place... To be overwhelmed by kindness is such a blessing...
This is true 😊🙏
Yes you are dead right.
Great video! Yep, I would have been overwhelmed by the amount of folks visiting.
Haha yep ! Especially when we are living with no social life almost all the rest of the time 😂
You’re in my backyard when I was kid in the seventies.
Expat kiwi that grew up on this beautiful island
Best people ever
Ever
Sweet place to grow up.
Those locals were amazing, but that many people can be overwhelming. Well done! :)
Yeah exactly. Was amazing but got too much after 3 days.
Amazing! Wonderful to be able to experience this vicariously via your camera lens. Beautiful pics at the end.
Thanks👍
Enjoy... At sulawesi
Awesome episode, I understand what you are saying but what generosity and kindness,
best channel on CZcams.
Oh thank you 🙏! I am happy that you appreciated this episode!
Yeah it was amazing and we felt pretty silly complaining about something while being treated like royalty but it just got too much. Without Eli it would have been a different story I guess.
I have three sons... Jack, Catcher, and Elliot or Eli. So good to see you guys on an adventure again.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome stuff guys, definitely know the worn out parent feeling, couldnt imagine doing it on a boat. 🙌
Tell me about it! Eli been sick all this week so editing this video has been a long precess.
8:39 = Rambutan fruit and DUKU fruit,and our Indonesian culture if we go to visit someone boat or house we are never "empty hand" (fruit,fish,snack etc) to service our guest who ever they are,but also have to be carefull because also we have bad people same as any other country there is nice person and bad person.
may God always protect you where ever you are,and hope your channel bigger and more bigger ❤
oh yeah we also saw,you already met with JAJAGO KELILING INDONESIA youtuber,I saw at his channel,luv it
Thanks and welcome! Yes there are good and bad everywhere but very few bad in Indonesia. Nicest people ever.
happy enjoy in sulawesi indonesia
Great episode . Beautiful imagery and insight into Bugi culture in Sulawesi. 👏 The food looks so delicious!!! 😋🤤🤩
Thank you 😋
Such real life 🎉
love from Indonesia,may God bless you and your family and hope all of journey will be easy ❤
thank you!
Aamiin
What a beautiful spot to anchor and enjoy seeing the culture of the island.
Great episode guys. Sulawesi looks beyond amazing.
It is a really interesting place for sure ! 😊
Pretty nice, underwater not so much though. Lots of dynamiting.
Very nice video. Yes the Indonesian people are so nice. Some places are nicer than the other's, but overall they are all nice. I guess places that are so out of the way to us foreigners are a thrill and interest to the people whom live in the area you're at. And definitely ELI will bring out the joy and interest of the villagers. I hope the deserts you received didn't go to waste, but went to the waist eh Marie. While Vernon was talking you sure were eating those delicious cakes, cookies ect lol. Seems like you are in a terrific spot. Enjoy yourselves stay safe looking forward to next video. You are looking so well the three of you .
Yeah we ate all of the goodies, nothing went to waste but all to the waist yes. That’s ok though, I think the stress over the 3 days balanced it out.
Welcome To Indonesia At Sulawesi
@@wahyuchanel7604 thank you.
Wow what an amazing episode
Thank you so much ! We worked hard on this one 😅
@@marie-morganerousselin2352 I'm guessing you did. It is next level. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Excellent episode. So good to see all the wonderful and lovely people in Sulawesi. The photography and narration was impeccable. Thanks to you both.
Thanks a ton.
Great video. One of your best. Can't wait to sail to Indonesia next year.
Thanks, Marie did the edit on this one. You won’t be disappointed, it’s a nice place to explore.
Heading north from Bira we anchored at a little island in the same group about 3 miles further north and also experienced a super warm welcome but there were only about 30 people in the village so it was a lot less hectic. Absolutely fantastic people up there.
We planned to visit a couple of the other island up there but just decided to retreat.
We can understand why. That was nuts. Really lovely people but too overwhelming in those numbers.
Cool but hectic. Thanks for
No worries!
Another great episode Vern and Marie.Bon voyage.
Many thanks!
beautiful drone footage - and eli is growing so much!
thanks guys.
😅 Indonesia is definitely a place where copious quantities of patience is a requirement. And yes, you are an "orang asing" = stranger, no matter how long you live here most people will still think of you and treat you like a stranger. However, we are still, mostly, welcomed warmly.
Yes true but where is that different? An Indonesian living in France or Switzerland for 30 years would still always be seen as a foreigner.
Welcome 🙏❤ 🇮🇩
love it here.❤️
Wellcome Indonesia Sulawesi 😍✌️🔥
Burning a few "fossils", right? 😅 thanks for the chuckle mate!
🤙
Yes,lovely people once you get away more remote.excellent video Vern and lovely narration by Marie.A lot of work making all that.Fair Winds now.
Thanks mate. Marie did all the editing on this one. It was a pretty big work for her while at the same time juggling a sick baby. hope youre well.
How wonderful are the people there. Hope to get there one day on my boat also.
Yeah amazing really, so honest and generous.
Superb video. Kami cinta Indonesia!
thanks 👍
Awesome video, well done MM, loved your narration. Video and stills interwoven with story was beautiful and impressively done😘😘😘
Thank you Marie 😊 ! It was really a long job but we are happy of the result
That's really cool that you had that experience
It was pretty great but also overwhelming.
Local hospitality can be overwhelming
Haha, yes if it is a whole village
👍
Very well done. Thanks!
Thank you, I am happy that you liked this one !
🙏
GREAT VIDEO EDITING and music
Thanks.
Thank you so much
Interesting... and different so continue enjoying...
I have been cruising Indonesia 2 years now. I am sure they mean well but sometimes you do have to tell them firmly with a smile to leave. Having some Bahasa helps. Lovely video.
We are speaking enough bahasa to turn off people when we don’t want them, but hard to tell people who invited you to eat, install mattresses in their living rooms to make you and your son have a nap in their house, come with pile of biscuits and fruits for you, to go away cause we need peace. 😂
I find it hard to do. We come to their country to experience the beauty of the place and the people who live there. I know sailors who literally yell at locals and tell them to stay away.
your way braver than i am it may have been hard but you will remember those people one way or another i dont think you would find that anyware else it was good to see shayne
😅 Yes ! I mean, Indonesia 🇮🇩 is a country that you are in general really well welcome by everyone but Burungloe was another level ! It was incredible to see so many kind attentions !
Yep, one of a kind for sure. Such nice people.
Just awesome very nice 🦅
Thanks.
jika solar bersubsidi itu dilarang sangat sulit didapat hanya memakai khusus subsidi dari pemerintah ,jika tak subsidi memang gampang ,enjoy diindonesiw
Can’t wait to get there!
Where are you planning to go in Sulawesi?
@@marie-morganerousselin2352 Heading to Wakatobi on 8th August and then Pasar Wajo on 14th August. With the 2024 Sail to Indonesia Rally.
Enjoy when you do, pretty special.
Iam Shura all that attention is overwhelming
Haha ! Yep ! Being the center of all attentions is taking a lot of energy 😅
👌
😊
🙏
Contact between vessels at anchor when both parties are experienced is inexcusable by the guilty party and the guilty party of the two is the one who anchors last.
The type of anchors and the technics to anchor are so different in Indonesia than we can’t really blame them, as much as it can turn us crazy.
They are not using chains but ropes , their anchor are just light hooks and their boat are acting super differently in current and wind than us.
They don’t have fiberglass boats like us neither and they are used to bonk in each others as they are all wooden boats and not having damages from it, and there are always people aboard to push the other boat.
This is part of the clash of culture too 😅
You are right there, not quite sure how it applies to us in this though.
@@SailingLearningByDoing I thought you had contact with another boat during the night and I " ASSUMED " they were at anchor too [ my mistake ]. It's even worse if you had a masthead and/or other light and they hit you.
Selamat datang di indonesia
@@vivooviv8848 🙏🙏
@@SailingLearningByDoing pergi ke danau toba brother,banyak yang bisa ditemukan disana
Palau Indah but that is a big price to pay. 3 days of visitors and probably diabetes 😂😂
Not really a big price, looking back it was a pretty special experience.
😀😀👍👍❤❤
Very nice vidio
Wherever you have gone in Sulawesi
Doing a whole circle around the island.
OMG, all those people on board, would have driven me crazy! You guys did well! BTW, you're burning 2-4 litres per hour when motoring? Those aren't big fuel tanks
Yeah it was pretty hectic. So nice though and while at the time you want to get out of the situation, looking back it was very special. The engines are only 20hp and burn 1.4l each at 2500rpm. We generally crusie at 5kts with one engine only.
@@SailingLearningByDoing that was my assumption-- my pescott cat had twin 20hp hondas and on one engine we used 3 L/Hour
@@pmorph ok. Yeah mine are little 3cylinder Nanni’s.
@@SailingLearningByDoing way more fuel efficient..
Yeah looked a little overwhelming, despite them being friendly nice people I'd find being mobbed on my boat like that a little too much
They are all so curious about our lifestyle and what we call home. Privacy is anyway a foreign concept to them.
Kamu pernah ke luwuk banggai teluk lalong 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@aizhoonocturno213 🤙👌
Wow, so many people holding your child or getting very close. That must have been stressful.
This was a bit too much sometimes, especially when he was tired, but people were really careful with him.
We want Eli to grow up feeling comfortable around all sorts of people. But yeah, it was a bit stressful at times when you could see he was getting a bit uncomfortable with all the attention.
So carrying a bunch of extra fuel filters I suppose?
Yep for sure, always have 5-6 of all filters and impellers etc for each engine. Oil and fuel filters can be found in Indonesia quite easily.
Come to our island, sir, and we will welcome you well. The name of our island is Kangean Island, tolonglah
Pulau kangean jawa timur indonesia
Tolong kasih bahasa Indonesia
Watching all those people on your boat gave me anxiety
😂 haha sorry ! We were not maybe not anxious, but definitely tired at the end of the day 😂
I felt so bad getting a bit mad and asking people to get off our boat.
Do you ever feel like you have to give the locals money when they bring you food?
It’s always obvious if they’re trying to sell you something or bring gifts. We gave them some things too, some crew shirts and hats.
No, and the first day when they offered us a calmar, we proposed to pay for it and they seems offended that we proposed and refused.
are you sure your not the Dad of @xQc? www.youtube.com/@xQcOW/videos
lol you remind me of him alot.. same mannerisms and favor each other and you both say "it is what it is" quite often
100% sure I'm not
