Wow! 20 knots continuous boat speed as we leave Indonesia with help from an outward current as we sailed between Bali and Lombok. But then the wind died. The wind came back up again and we made the passage to Cocos Keeling Islands in the Indian Ocean in 6 days.

WORDS TO OUR HIP HOP COMPETION
BioTrek is on the move
Yo sails are up, we’re in the groove, We’re in the groove
The GLYWO boat with furry crew, yea furry crew
Pierre’s the captain, steering by hand, With a racer’s spirit, at the helm he stands
Mending all, with tool and wit, But Lisa, she’s the Admiral, every bit.
Philippines is Luma’s home
Around the world she wants to roam, Wants to roam
Brian joins with knowledge tight
Coast guard credentials, he is outta site, outta site
BioTrek is on the move
Sails up high, feel the boat move, feel the boat move
Sleek design a sailor’s dream, With winds upfront, aft or abeam
To the catamaran life it’s the life that frees
Yo sails are up, in that groove, BioTrek is on the move
Around the world as we are sailing
A fishing line we are trailing, trailing
Dreaming of tuna, maybe wahoo too
Beneath the waves are treasures new
BioTrek we’re setting the pace
Sails catching the wind in this endless chase
Going fast or going slow
Depends who’s at the helm you know ,Depends who’s at the helm you know
BioTrek is on the move, Yo sails are up, in the groove
We picked her up in La Grand Motte France
But alas a change in circumstance, A change in circumstance
With hopes to sail around the world
A covid pandemic our plans disturbed, our plans disturbed
Grand large Yachting saved the day, saved the day
And started GLYWO without delay, Started GLYWO, come what may
GLYWO saved the day, saved the day
Overcoming every dismay, we found our way
With friends by our side we sailed away, sailed away anyway
The GLYWO fleet is on the move, on the move, Sails are up, in the groove
This GLYWO adventure has been a dream, meeting new sailors, sharing dreams.
Passing continents and oceans the GLYWO our endeavor,
Friends bound by the seas, forever and ever
GLYWO friends bound by the seas forever and ever

Merci pour la vidéo et les French subtitres…😊
Images sous marines d'excellente qualité ! 👏👏
Such an amazing yacht. Looks fantastic and sailing so fast.
Another great video! Loving our Canadian flag on your amazing boat!
Thanks so much. I really hang out for posts. You're my preferred channel. You show a lot more actual sailing footage than most and the 5X is the best catamaran on the water. Well….maybe the Gunboat 68.
My favourite video of your boat is not actually yours. It's Great Circle's #1 of Bio Trek's sail to Cannes. The smile on Pierre's face sums it up.
I eagerly await your next video, cheers to you both and your crew
looks over powered sometimes needs to reef in.
Love going fast on Biotrek!
