To Tanjung
Gedong
It was extremely tough to drag
ourselves away from Kroko Atoll.
So we went for one
last snorkel in a perfect fish tank with clear visibility, had showers
and up came the anchor at ten to ten.

Wishful
Thinking just behind.
How blue,
lure trolling along behind.
Sun shining, we hug the coast for our thirty two mile journey.

Thinking looking lovely on our left.................

Our only bend

Around the
bend.
Anchorage
ahead. Deep water right up to the
edge.
Wirraway
looking gorgeous at anchor.
We passed the
local girls and found four metres below. Backing up the reef not far
behind. Sadly, the coral here was hit hard by explosives and cyanide, there are
signs of recovery but the marine fish pet industry has much to answer
for.
Before the anchor was down we had two
men in a dugout canoe clinging to the side of Beez. They patiently waited and
asked for snorkel masks, we only possess our own but we sent them off with some
fishing line and hooks. One little lad paddled off, a
cute smile with his new tennis ball. Another dugout with bigger boys asked for
pens, pencils and notepads but we gave all we had away – they were happy enough
with a ball each.
Todays journey. When you change the
scale on the chartplotter it has to have time to put the detail on. It looks
rather funny naked of the busy
names.
A still sea and a
bright sunset to eat supper and have a few games before turning in for an
episode of Hustle.
ALL IN ALL A PERFECT DAY TO
BE A CRUISER
A LOVELY JOURNEY IN THE WINDLESS
