Ep 77 - Emergency Surgery

In this episode we set sail through the Java Sea for Karimunjawa however our plans go awry when Sarah falls ill. It’s obvious that she needs medical attention so we sail throughout the night to get her to the nearest hospital where she undergoes emergency surgery.

    Change your travel insurance provider, waste of time paying a premium and getting a genuine claim refused! Your provider is in it for the money only, not your well being! Sarah will get over it pretty quick, she is a hard old chook 😂 Good to see she had the hatch open when trying to expel all that gas 🤔 Been watching your latest passage, seemed to take ages to get to your latest destination, now you can rest up a bit. Fair winds and following seas guys 👍😁

    Not that kind of gas! 🤣 We don’t trust any insurance companies now! The Indian Ocean is a beast. We had to be fully reefed due to squalls. We passed through after a tropical cyclone and before a RTS. 53 knots of wind and huge beam on swell made for some tough conditions out there. We were very glad to lock eyes on land again!

    @@sailingexcelsior hahaha, I thought that would cause a stink HAHAHA Yeah, I wouldn't trust insurance companies either when they rip you off like that. I am just about to get our catamaran and start to sail the oceans (except Indonesia, giving them a wide berth) and have to get insurance but I just don't know who to get.

    It is shocking that the insurance company did not reimburse you. 😢
