SURVIVING in the middle of NO WHERE??? Ep 260

Food shopping is very different in remote Indonesia than the western world... How do we get our food??? www.sailingnandji.com
In this episode, we take you for a ride along as we try to find food. Provisioning for trips away is a difficult task when your departure port is already a long way "away". There are no super markets around, no western products, out of date "long life" foods and a market where its first in best dressed. We head into a village to try and load up Nandji for 2 weeks away.

[@MrLebro11]

Awesome vid. You packed so much in. Love the trip through the markets & seeing what a mammoth task it is to shop, was a great cultural awakening.and an genuine insight to true boat life.

[@creativecutter]

LOVE this episode!!! Daily life and considerations of living in a tiny floating home. loved the friendly store ladies and the taste testing and practicalities of bringing goods onboard. Nandji looks WONDERFUL in all her refinished and upgraded glory! All the best to you three and thank you for taking the time and effort i know you put into these glimpses into a life well lived! All the best!

[@kristaready8812]

Wow! Provisioning on a boat is no joke!! Tons of work! You make it look easy and you have a baby!!!

[@bryonensminger7462]

Gotta live fresh mangos I grew up in Hawaii and we had bananas papayas and mangos all growing in our yard it was great get up in the morning run out grab a big mango 🥭 off the tree for breakfast then off to school

[@DougVarble]

The boat looks so good, great job on the refit, I know it’s been a while!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

That was awesome that lady gave you the key to her motor bike to go to another store to get the stuff for your baby. Now that a mother's heart... We pray extra blessing on her...

[@davemclaughlin152]

Love following you guys...all the way from Nelson New Zealand. Hope you are all well.

[@bryonensminger7462]

You should turn a bunch of those bananas 🍌 , into banana nut bread 🍞 it will last a week or so plus it tastes absolutely great especially if you bot some butter 🧈 to put on it just steam it for a few seconds smear on the butter and have at it

[@FriendM2010]

Love how friendly all the local ladies were to you two. 👍. How many strangers in our home countries just hand complete strangers the keys to their vehicle? 😳🧐🤨🤓. I can assure you as of the 3520 views this video has thus far, all of them are saying, “where is our little gurl” 👶 🥰. Max was baby sitting.👍

[@robertnixon3816]

That was really good! Shopping is different when off grid like that! Its good to have a plan to keep all the little critters off Nandji. Gotta not let them have a home there! Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us!

[@steveeggert8814]

What a great episode! Very interresting to see the shops and products/produce they have. The people seem so friendly and willing to help you learn about and even try new to you food items. As always, thanks for letting us go along...

That was SO interesting! The snake fruit was wild looking!!

[@wwomannc4834]

Bonita, I love to watch you come up with recipes. Maybe a Nandji cookbook???

[@_pic_7571]

A good thing for killing bugs is Dawn dishwashing liquid mixed with water in a spray bottle. Spirits it down let it set for a couple minutes and rinse.

[@larrylegg8245]

Good job, keep it up Yosh.

[@sailingonabudget]

Yeah, this is great. One of the main things my wife and I think about as we look ahead to cruising...what are we going to eat ? We are so spoiled with groceries here.

[@michellemarleau3035]

Thanks for the great tips! 👍

[@christip20]

Have you tried using baking soda & water for rinsing your vegetables & fruits? I swear I put some strawberries in that I couldn’t see anything on & little bugs crawled out from everywhere.

[@markcremins8774]

T shirt with Hawkes Bay New Zealand.... gotta love you guys xx

[@tophatter15]

Another ripper video. Very informative! Cheers n beers. Froth on!!

[@pkane5472]

So they decide to go to town and climb in the dingy and I'm going "but wait! You're forgetting someone! Are you just letting her sleep while you go to town? No!" Where's Talula Mae? And then I read the comments and see Max was in charge! Whew!

[@robyg7037]

I see what you did there 😂

[@brianbuchanan2414]

Great information , would be nice to know what the costs were. Just for baseline or perspective

[@leonaessens4399]

Ooooh, I remember snake fruit as "salak", I used to love that when I was a kid. You have to be very careful in Indonesia (or anywhere else in South East Asia) with vegetables, though. Wash them, and wash them again, thoroughly! I presume you kow that already, but really, it's worth being conscious of. Farmers in Indonesia, Malaysia etc are very cavalier about their use of pesticides! Meaning that they really don't take much notice of "recommended dosages". More often than not they don't have the gear to spray properly and I have seen them simply upending whole buckets and just pouring the stuff all over the plants. Plus they often still use pesticides that have long been banned in other countries.

[@bertmacdonald337]

No nipping down to IGA for a pack of tim tams then! And no bottle-o either for a case of Extra Dry :( Stay safe legends! Fair winds xx

[@stephenmahoney9531]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@cassie6492]

The fruit looks yummy. I go to an Amish grocery store and buy slightly out of date cereal and stuff like that and save a lot of money. The one thing that they are not allowed to sell expired is baby food.

[@stephenkillick5812]

With usual Food, the manufacturer builds in a kind of safety net. The product is edible even after the printed expiry date but beware, you have no idea what they gave themselves as a buffer. Baby food is different as the risk of a child being sick is too much to gamble on.

[@webheadusa9377]

A trip to the grocery store is not a trip - it is an expedition! "Yeah Yoshi, let's get in the dinghy and go on a day-long expedition to the main drag's food market. But we have to get back before the tsunami rolls in. - Bonita". I wonder how you two will handle the simplicity of life in Australia? Will you two need some counseling from us? Best, :¬) Webhead USA

[@cia_moya825]

Great answer and smart explain Bonita. why you have to check the product before sale if you buy some product from a part of island, as you know Indonesian has so many island, and that make the distribution of product can effect to condition and price the product. so be careful before buy a product, especially for your baby, and your food/drink. I loved to see you to buy so many fresh food, that's good for your baby and you guys.. Take care, good bless you.. I wanna ask, who looking after Tallula Mae while you guys were shopping??

[@RustyManisduckman]

How neat. My last name means "sweet"

Where was the froth???????? Cheers! C.T. Australia

[@rumblechick73]

Looks like it has to become almost an occupation to know everything needed to keep up. Where was Tallula while you were shopping?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Tallula was with Max, he was still on the boat at the time this was filmed.

[@bryonensminger7462]

Who had the baby when you were shopping ? ?

Wait! Who was watching your baby girl when you were shopping?

On boat watch.

[@stephenkillick5812]

I was under the impression that you were trying to get home to Australia and get Marley home from New Zealand! You appear to be taking your sweet time doing this?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

The Marley video was filmed in real time because people were asking for a Marley update, this was filmed before it. Also.. You make it seem so easy Stephen.. to just up and fly home from a remote part of a developing country, leaving your sailboat and everything you own at anchor somewhere exposed to the elements and the people there. Its not as simple as, I want to leave. There’s a lot to sort out and organise and it’s one of the reasons many sailors don’t return home for years at a time. Add in covid restrictions, It’s not an easy task or a matter of simply getting on a plane.

[@stephenkillick5812]

I realise that you can never sail to a schedule. I do not own a yacht yet, but hopefully can find a decent vessel when I fly to the States next! YOU are the ones who make sailing look easy. I have known the heartache of having to leave your home (for you Nandji) and this is never easy. We had to flee Zimbabwe when Mugabe took power, but in S.A. we have done fairly well. I have my own flat, not far from Richards Bay where I want to store my yacht at the yacht club. I used to have a loving Yorkie and she would have sailed with me except a swarm of angry bees took her out, and because I am deathly allergic to bees as well, hospitalised me.

[@stephenkillick5812]

@@FrothLyfeSailingNandji I don't think that I ever mentioned berthing Nandji and flying home. I know that for you it is imperative that you sail your home back and not abandon it. What I was trying to ask is why after many months, you are still in Thailand and not way closer to your home country. I do not yet own a yacht but would like you, not like to moor it unattended in a foreign country. In SA that would be inviting theft, not just of equipment but of the entire boat. Thank you for letting the world know what you doing and I hope that your mission to get back to Australia is successful in the not too long term. I know you intended to sail to SA as part of your journey and whilst I live near Richards Bay I can say that it is a great place to live and I always want it to be where I hang my hat!

[@johnelias9568]

I thought you were heading to Australia to get Marley and get medical attention for Bonita

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Yes and we have! It’s a bit confusing but the Marley video was made in real time because everyone was asking for an update! This was filmed before it. 💙

[@craigme2583]

You guys must stand out as such obvious Aussies without having to open your mouth. So funny. Love the personal attention in the shop. How 'organic' is organic? Do they regulate pesticides there? Do they know what there are using? Bit of DDT, 2,4D? Thats my food paranoia coming through? How 'good' is the water you mixing that baby formular in? OK that's my water paranoid coming through...everything is risk management on a boat in foreign waters... Did Yosh say ar-pikch-al-ay-gawww?

Sorry Tony, Google doesn't know everything. They may not yellow as much but the fruit certainly does ripen.
