We Navigate up an Unchartered RIVER in Borneo!
This week we’re taking on one of the most exciting adventures of our lives… exploring the Kinabatangan River! 🐊 Join myself, Riley and the boys as we encounter an insane array of rare and endangered wildlife & learn all about the importance of this amazing jungle.
During this three day voyage, we're going to be attempting a night safari, testing out the full capacity of our OC tender and learning all about local ways of life along the Kinabatangan.
As always, a massive thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy this EARLY & AD FREE preview of this week's episode!

Been a while since we heard you singing and playing the guitar Elayna. When can we get some more recordings to listen to?
Nurse here - as Samantha said Surgicel is a great option. Telfa is another great option, it is a non-adherent dressing. Although not the most absorbent.. would want to put some gauze on top of it too. Or Adaptic which is a mesh impregnated with vaseline. OR!! since all these medical supplied might be hard to get you can make your own Adaptic and load up your gauze with vaseline so it won't stick. If you only have gauze definitely change the dressing daily to make sure your skin doesn't heal to the gauze. Although daily dressings aren't optimal for wound healing unless your dressing is soiled. Wounds need moisture to heal and don't love to be disturbed. Anyways! loved the episode. Thanks guys!
....23 days of navigating up an uncharted River on Borneo so far....did the 'Zulu C' make you disappear? hoping all is good and happy in MangoVille. Ship ahoy....
Only a few nm from Curiosity 2 now up in Culion!! how about a shared dive? Fingers crossed for that. 🫰🏻
How is everyone doing?
Thank you for taking me places I've never been. 😊⛵️ Stay safe.
Amazing thank you!!!!
With crew, children and all, how do you find time for the two of you as a couple? I love the hull color by the way👍
Thank you for taking us on such an awesome adventure. So cool! Beautiful singing, Elayna! And Riley, probably for the best that you didn't punch any monkeys this time. Just take care of that finger. (Yikes!) Can't wait for the next episode and hope it's not your last! :)
Looks like a great sail you all had! Sister is a med student / I’m a Biomedical engineer - recommend Surgicel for wounds like Riley’s - it’s an oxidized cellulose material (aka another skin) can stay on your finger until your fingers heals and your skin “pushes” it off. Will also help stop the bleeding! Fair winds and safe sailing!!
A wonderful adventure intp croco waters . . . I wonder what the crocs are thinking " Darn, these tender, tasty folks do not even go for swim . . . how tame is that!"
You guys need some proper wound dressings on board including hydrocolloid (google it) dressings. There are a few different brands. Bandaid does it as their Advanced Healing products but there are lots of others too. Too far away from medical help too much of the time to not have these on board. Easily available at any pharmacy. Get your fam and friends to ship some out to you. ASAP !!!!
Loved the episode guys! Definitely glad no one capsized into the croc infested waters!!! Have sent an Insta message and email about the ASAP crew position you guys have available, bonus is I have a junior black belt so can fight off those pirates is need be ahahah. Sending good sailing conditions guys 🩷
Your boat looked so sick in that river. Such an amazing experience for all of you. We have glimpsed a sliver of what that is like cruising in Desolation sound and the Broughtons in the PNW, but nothing like your level of adventure!
Awesome episode! It was so nice to hear Elay play the guitar and sing again, this always adds so much ambiance to the videos (:
Hey crew what you need is a a wound cream as the primary dressing directly onto the wound bed that will help prevent infection, this will also keep it moist and a wet wound heals quicker and better than a dry wound, a non adhesive dressings as the secodary dressing, my go to is interpose as you can cut it to any size and won't become a part of you Riley :) and then a tertiary dressing to keep it in place, mefix is always a good option, can cut to any size as well, make sure you round the edges of your tertiary dressing, that way it won't peel off. Safe sailing friends, have absolutely been loving the recent adventures! Thanks for taking us a long :)
Great video! For Riley's finger you need a primary dressing that's non adhesive to put on top of the cream first.
Riley and his medical problems are a series not yet made. :-)
Well there it is never dull on board with you guys. Riley becoming one with the mesh monster, mosquitoes carrying lord knows what all, running aground and now pirates! Holding my breath till next episode and praying I don’t get a “Go Fund Me” request from you because of the pirates!
A good knife is the key! Great episode famdamily!
Wonderful video! Thanks for taking us through this new journey of yours!!
