We learned so much from the people of this remote fishing village, Air Putih. The kids had never seen a sailboat before and were overjoyed to show us their home. They taught us about the crops they grow, and what a clove tree plantation looks like. --- ๐ If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE to our channel, your feedback gets us noticed by YouTube and helps get the word out! Thank you. --- We have met some incredible people and made friends around the world since starting this sailing adventure in 2006. But nowhere has stolen our hearts and moved us to tears quite as much as Air Putih. Hidden in a remote 'fjord' deep within the Anambas archipelago, this un-named village on Google Maps turned out to be a gem. We watched artisans building a 'pom-pom' (fishing boat), learned the names of trees and fruits and had a guided tour of the local school. When we were served tea and coffee in the only shop they refused payment until we insisted. "Sailing in Indonesia is dangerous," according to people who have never been there. Living on a sailboat brings you into contact with all kinds of people, and without fail we have received the warmest of welcomes. We love the people of the Anambas, and will treasure these memories for as long as we live.

Sorry for my non-sailor ignorance, but does it cost money to report position or something? Also makes me curious when you were sailing through heavy singapore shipping lanes where they asked if you had your AIS on .. would they not have seen it and so should not have asked. Or was it just simply due to so many and such busy spot just did not see yours amongst all the clutter.
Is the coral as bad as it looks from the drone?
Must add... fantastic drone work!

I'm curious about the "first sailboat ever to come here" part of the title. Obviously from the scooter, and machine made clothes and modern windows and tin roofs, these folks interact a lot with the "outside world". Did the residents tell you that your boat was the first cruiser to stop there?
Yes, the subject came up in conversation with Sen the schoolteacher, Bajar's Dad. He told us no sailboat had anchored in front of their village before, and no-one had visited them either. The Anambas is not cut off from the rest of the world, and they get plenty of supplies from Jakarta and the rest of Indonesia. While there have been visitors to the group, you wouldn't stumble across Air Putih. It's at the end of a long strait going nowhere. We only found it by looking on Google Earth. We love visiting communities and liked the look of the shelter offered by their bay. Pure serendipity! Liz
Cheers from Bermuda!
beautiful children...

But this time Robert Evans and z non you broke from the beach party with your immature comments on La Vag. La Vag put together a solid business plan, they were never disrespectful along the way, young, hopeful to the point of being dreamers, all true.
Sell outs- How?
Sail FTB and La Vag together for 1 week, 2 calm loving Couples both community oriented channels in 1 lagoon- imagine the "generation filled" gap that video vlog would have to share with all of us...
PS: I miss the American, where has that hobo gotten off to?

We have an educated and erudite crowd of followers for which we are very grateful, and we love reading and answering comments. Sometimes we all have to vent, though, and we don't mind if people want to do that here - we leave our comments open to every point of view (except racism, sexism - the usuals).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, always happy to read them! Peace and fair winds! (Liz@ftb)
PS American McGee lives in Shanghai and gets to his boat when he can, in fact we're hooking up with him again next month!
