As part of our stay in Belitung, the Malasian Rally organisers invited all the boats
to a Grand Dinner over which the Malay President was to preside
The President was due to arrive in the afternoon and all the local fishermen
gathered from all over the island and dressed up their boats
It was a lovely sight, they had made a huge effort and missed at least two
days fishing
They wove their way through the rally boats
We watched as they got very close to Curious
Unfortunately the President couldn't come, the deputy President came instead
