Leaving Belitung Tonight
This is just a quick post to say we are departing Belitung. Not because we want to, but because we need to continue our way to Singapore because of various time factors. We actually had a very unique experience here … Continue reading
Made it to Komodo Dragons
We had to motor for the last 10-12 hours of our trip to the island of Rinca (or Ringa or Ringda – we’ve seen it spelled several ways). But, we managed to arrive about 30 minutes before sunset at the … Continue reading
Enroute to Komodo Dragons
We left Kupang determined to sail as much as possible. We had a sea breeze again in the afternoon and it was directly coming from our route. So, we did some long tacks of about 12 miles and only made … Continue reading
Arrived in Indonesia
Three and a half days of motoring with a few hours here and there of putting up sails to pretend we were a sailing boat. That pretty much describes our passage from Darwin to Kupang, Indonesia. It will take a … Continue reading

We are almost across the Gulf of Carpenteria after one of the most boring “sailing” passages we have had so far. We have motored almost the entire time since leaving Seisia. We have flown then spinnaker twice for about 1.5 … Continue reading
Having Fun But No Internet
We are having a great time in the Whitsundays since the last report. But, because of the wind we have been on the east side of the islands. The island terrain is blocking our view of the cell phone antennas … Continue reading
Karen Arrives Guests Delayed
Karen arrived at last on Monday! It was great seeing her, although she went straight to sleep after her long flights from Houston. I ended up going to dinner with our friends on s/v Kilkea, s/v Sea Mist, and s/v … Continue reading
