Trimaran life! (Part III)

Elayna Carausu

We launched our new trimaran in November 2023 and embarked on an unforgettable journey 🥹. Our shakedown cruise to Borneo was anything but smooth lol. However, the adventure made it all worthwhile.. sailing up the Kinabatangan River, we encountered wild orangutans and crocodiles in their natural habitat. We also dove at Sipidan Island, one of the world’s best dive spots, where I saw more fish than I ever thought possible!! From there we ventured across the Sulu Sea, navigating pirate territory.. to reach the breathtaking Philippines. The water there reminded me of the Bahamas 🩵. Unfortunately we discovered a crack in our centerboard case, so we stopped in Subic Bay for repairs before setting off on a five day passage to Japan. Our first stop was Okinawa, where the Ryukyu Islands completely stole our hearts.. untouched natural wonders with incredible beauty. For me, Yakushima was the highlight.. an island of ancient forests and magical landscapes 😍. From there we sailed into the Seto Inland Sea, exploring culturally rich cities and remote, hidden islands far off the tourist trail. Along the way we discovered a deep love for Japan’s traditional onsens.. the perfect way to relax after long day at sea. The journey took an unexpected turn when a fishing boat collided with us in the middle of the night while we slept. Now we’re preparing for more repairs before setting off to explore a new destination! It’s been a wild ride on this new boat 🚀✨🤯 we feel so at home on her and just love her to bits. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
