Episode 405 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia
Hello Friends,
On this episode we explore the town of Winchi on Wangiwangi Island in Wakatobi. We had a lovely stay at the floating docks of a free marina and enjoyed Winchi very much. We take you along with us as we go check out some of the fresh water pools in limestone caves.
At the end of the video I show you my DIY fuel polishing set up to pre clean the notoriously dirty diesel in Indonesia.

KSS setups are the best! Awsome video thanks!
I really enjoy you having a sailing partner with similar vibes. The solo videos were awesome, also, but having two people is more enjoyable. And having two bodies is better that one! Well, most of the time….unless you’re rationing food for survival! But, who would ever put themselves in a situation like that, right!? 🤔😏😎🤘🏼❤️
Welcome to Indonesia😊
Good set up.
Thanks again!
Indonesia is a 1 to 1 copy of the Royal Pacific hotel in Orlando Florida. 😆 #TriggerJames.
Filter setup is a great idea.
Good idea. ❤❤❤
Taking Pictures to share of your journey. On your walks, and hiking as The lead walker turnes around and films the other person from thier front view as they are walking, sight seeing.. as the ankels and shoulders from the back side view are less interesting for me. bendiciones…m
Rhonda rock!!! Goes without saying James do as well!!! That little polishing setup also ROCKS!!!!
Thank you very much for your tutelage regarding fuel polishing James.
I don't know if it will be needed in my tiny little life, but if so, your system looks like the way to go!
Onward & upward good people.
🙏🦉

Once bitten, twice shy. Good call Captain.
🌬️ Thanks 🌊⚓
Great to see you again Amigo and Amiga!!❤😂🎉😅😊
Clever system for polishing fuel!
Great video guys! Love watching them!! Keep them coming! 😊😊😊😊😊
Isn’t Waiktobi(?) a big tourist area? Specifically scuba divers. I know my parents took a dive vacation there. I couldn’t tell you exactly where I just know it was Wakitobi. Maybe why certain parts are so much cleaner
I think you can pull off that white cap on the intake end of the rule pump and attach a hose to the nipple.
Really enjoying your Indonesia videos & loved those you did when in Aus. What an amazing capture of real Indo, thank you. The posh name is Automotive Auxiliary Outlet, I call them cigarette lighter plugs too😆
❤
That's a great little polishing system, thanks for sharing.
👍
Thanks!
Way less plastic in that part of the world, luv the polishing system. Your engine will thankyou 👍
Good job Captain! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Aww a short one, I guess Rhondas (NZ?) words Standart & Staple have very diff meanings, for us- they mean just So So & basic needs – to Them them Greatness. I Loved the interior woodwork of the Restaurant & sinks right in there, another normal /strange to us. Tried to figure what the White things were on your plates-looks like egg whites, prolly potatoes? I Ronda ~> I Like seeing you in a new shirt . Youve lost so much weight, I would love to see you in some colors Peach, Blue Turquoise, Pink that set off that pretty hair & Blue? eyes. Any hand embroidered clothing there? The Swimmin Hole UNreal, hope you both had a swim. Polishing – I learn Something New, on Every show! Thank you As Always !
Hey brother, excellent setup on that polisher. I wish more cruisers would build some sort of polisher…nothing worse that the engine cutting off in tight quarters or when motoring in a storm.
Buy DEX wherever you can, it's much lower in sulfur and cetane. In many places you won't find DEX so dexlite may be your only choice. But be careful, a slightly murky colour may mean it's been cut with biodiesel. Biodiesel holds water in suspension so your system won't remove it. Be sure to use a good quality marine diesel conditioner and don't leave the fuel sitting around. Good luck.
Staple setup..
I had to French press 50 gallons of diesel = 1 quart at a time
Thanks!
James, just an old man commenting on your polishing filter if I may? On our goods vehicles and tractors the flow over the water trap is very slow. On a heavy goods vehicle it would work at about 5 gallons per hour and would involve 2 filters. On tractors the flow would be less?? As you probably know the water will need gravity to sink into the trap. I wondered if perhaps your pump was too big in capacity to allow any water time to settle into the sediment bowl? Again, just an old man fan Finking out loud🙃🙃🙃
We look forward to every video. That intro makes me feel like you actually know me. Is there actually coffee in that cup?
Nice
Brilliant setup and simple. Great idea for cleaning diesel in marine conditions.-) By the way, the food looked great and the water cave too! Thanx for the video James over Rhonda. Enjoy!
"Polishing" is an odd word for cleaning or filtering diesel. Why do they call it that?
I made a comparable setup this summer in Camaret Sur Mer in France to get rid of a lot of sediment in the diesel tank of a vessel we were supposed to cross the Bay of Biscay with, since it clogged up the tank outlet and stop it right there instead of being caught in the filters. There were several other reasons why we had to improvise that, there was no inspection hatch in the tank, and the outlet of the tank was hard against the hull, the tank sagged, so I sort of vacuumed the tank and caught the shavings in the filters I brought. For as far as I was there it got rid of the problem! Take care!
