Return to Indonesia
Return to Indonesia
All provisioned and checked out of Malaysia we set course for the border town of Tarakan. Our agent, Raymond, who had been so helpful with last year’s Indonesian visit had gotten us through the labyrinth of paper work and arranged…
Esh
I think it 99 is as high as it goes! We’re out at Commodore Island with Ox Bow Yacht Club and it’s a bit warmish.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!
The bad weather continues to keep us in port. It’s looking like we’ll be here through Sunday or
Monday.
With all of this extra time on our hands we did put on our rain gear and walk into town to get our hair cut! Barb took the time to do laundry and I did a few projects in the engine room! Not to exciting but productive!
Barb and I have learned that the weather service does make mistakes from time to time so will be up early looking for a break in the weather and a chance to move up the coast.

A half day in the boat shed
is better than no day in the boat shed.I spent this morning sanding and prepping the fwd section for more carbon fiber. Using the peelply sure saves on sanding. It seems a bit wasteful to just peel this stuff off and toss it away though. The work it sa…
Mariner’s Guide to the Port of New York and New Jersey
For some odd reason, this blog gets many hits. Consequently, I get many requests for advertising and such, which I decline. This latest request is a bit different, though.I’ve been to New York City many times, mostly by boat. &nb…
Collins Inlet, Keyhole Island
The water level is a foot below last year and we felt we pushed through the mud through the East entrance to the Collins Inlet last year, so we decided to enter from the west. Quite a bit of additional mileage, but who needs to run aground. (We ran agr…
Bustard Islands, Whoa Baby!
Last year we anchored in the Bustard Islands and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We planned to cruise up the Gun Barrel into the harbor, but decided to travel a bit farther south (east) on the small boat channel and enter between two islands. Worked grea…
