Spent the day on the boat.
Getting ready for our departure I helped tune the mast, ship shape
Boson’s Locker, prepare the anchor system, and ready the deck. Dhany arrived dressed in nice shirt and
slacks, looking like a true business man.
His hair was cut and gelled, freshly shaved; he looked like a new man,
not the same guy I spent a week with sailing the South
China Sea . A group went to
customs to clear us for our morning departure to Bali ,
and the rest of us enjoyed a slow paced day, mixing work with leisure
time. I was put in charge of dinner, my
first fried chicken meal! Dhany, Nina,
and Adrien joined us for dinner; we were sad to learn that Dhany would not be
joining us on the next leg, but excited to have Adrien and Orla. Carol’s birthday celebration was the finale
to our last meal with great new friends; a delicious cake and singing in
English, then Indonesian. We got to go
on shore one last time to send out last minute emails and get our last hot
shower. Before going back to Mir, Nina, Dhany, and Adril found us to
say the final goodbyes and present us each with rice patty hats. They are truly a genuinely nice family, very
humble and immensely generous.
After a very hectic week in Jakarta Java and spend a day at Kracatoa, but after reading about
the rough seas and constant squalls we decided to take the safer course along
the North coast. It took a while to
escape Jakarta
