Octsober 23rd & 24th: Day 23 of Octsober and still going strong! Am enjoying my soda waters and lime, or Tonic and fresh limes – so glad we have an icemaker on board, well it’s integrated in our freezer and we both think it’s the best thing. Although our water maker has died (again) …

Octsober 22nd: Wasn’t too bad a night, Robbie claimed he didn’t get much sleep because of Peter’s snoring but I heard a lot of snoring coming from my starboard side, so not sure how much sleep was had! Robbie likened the sound of Peters snoring to being on a passage on Southern Star with the …

Octsober 17th: This overnight passage was a bit of a shock after all our easy day cruising in the calm waters of Indonesia, we were both very tired. On our approach to Bawean Island Robbie went really close to a FAD (Fish Attracting Device) and Lo and behold we hooked up. The reel was screaming …
Octosober 12th: Woke up at 7.45am (yes we are getting lazy!) to a beautiful glassed out ocean. The bay in daylight is very pretty with lots of trees with stunning foliage, on the beach line. There are quite a few yachts anchored here, mostly from the rally. We had a real “English breakfast” Bacon, hash …

October 3rd: Day 3 of Octosober so far so good. Today I got up at 5am and cleaned all the inside of the windows, all the couches and benches, amazing how many little tops there are. Especially in the pilot house. They are all covered in the non-slip matting and it traps the dust so …

October 2nd: Got up at 5:30am and started downloading bank statements so I could complete our tax return information for the accountant and the quarterly BAS returns. I dread this paper work, for someone who loved book keeping and financial returns, I have developed a sincere hatred of it now. But we have Tony and …

October 1st: Departed at 6:30am and it’s a 30 nautical mile run to Medana Bay Marina. Perfect Southern Star weather, little wind and calm seas. We had a pod of dolphins playing on the bow for a while, they are so cool and just bring a smile to your face every time. We saw lots …

September 30th: Bit of a sleep in, 7:30am start for our short journey to our first anchorage on Lombok Island. We had the usual 3 fishing rods out but no joy. We arrived at 1:30pm and then Peter & Heidi invited us and Oda for a pot luck dinner. This is the last night that …
September 29th: We decided to clean the hull of the boat and the duck today. Because we haven’t been in a marina since we left Cairns the only water we have is what we make from the watermaker. Some anchorages we do not make water as the water we are anchored in is not the …
