Keep Calm When Dealing with Maldivian Bureaucracy - Ep. 133

Our Maldivian adventures continue with a bit of a look into the darker side of cruising the Maldives: the bureaucracy. After waiting a week for our cruising permit to come back, we were now faced with the task of getting diesel. Should be simple enough, right? Well, not when a new two day old form is required that no one knows how to fill out or even who should fill it out!

Fortunately, before this all happened we did get a taste of why you come sail the Maldives. We made a stop in at Utheemu, made a new friend and got to visit the Palace of the first Sultan of the Maldives. The wind was calm, so we took advantage and explored an extremely deep anchorage, snorkeling, flying the drone and enjoying a delicious treat.

As with all things in the cruising life, you have to take the good with the bad!

Thanks for watching!
