• Return to OtD 🥰 & ⛵️

    Dec 1–13, 2025 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Our 4 months 🏡 in 🇦🇺 few by... super busy with Teddles sorting/selling stuff 🤑 & me returning to work 🤯. Best bit was having lots of time with friends, family & doggies ❤️
    1st Dec, feeling a bit travel weary, we climbed back onto OtD. We super 😊...still floating & well looked after by Del Ray Marina team, motors started 1st pop & with butt recently scrubbed, she was ready to move again.
    Lol...didn't move far, 30nm up to Medana Marina to go up on hardstand 🤣. Ted has a list of stuff to sort before we launch into the unknown...main fixes being fiberglass repairs (a few dingy and log incidents), repaint antifoul (not much left after 7mth in warm water) & replace old seacocks. Recalling Darwin hardstand experience we are spoiling ourselves this time in Marina hotel which is comfy & clean with aircon/meals.
    Whilst we have no idea yet where this year's exploring will take us we do have a few plans...
    1) 12mth visa that allow us to come & go ...so back in Oz every 3-4 mths for family time
    2) I keep working 3 days a week (thx starlink)...keep 🧠 active
    3) Slow down... last year we did lots on miles thinking it a 1 yr holiday gig, now there's no rush as boat our main home.
    4) Search for & stay at the less busy 🌊, ⛱️ & villages
    5) Keep learning & loving Indonesia...open minds & open hearts = a whole lot of TnT adventure!!!
    Be safe beautiful people ❤️
