We stopped at Rindja where comodo dragons live.
They are big lizards who can be up to 4 meters long.
Steve saw one on the beach when he was on the boat,
but we did not find any when we went to look for them.
However we found the remains of breakfast and also
where they live.
Indonesian fishing boat at Rindja Island Kea
on anchor (beach is black)
We had to land the dinghy on the beach.. This is
where the komodo dragons live…
This is what is left from breakfast. Sailing
north east of Komodo
Island there were strong
currents.
We were only doing about 5 boat kts but sog was 11.4 kts so over 6 kts of
current!!
The above pictures are of small fishing boats.. one
under sail going back and the other with the sail down
There were hundreds of these. In early hours of the
morning as it became light they were everywhere
No navigation lights though….
This was on the east side of Bali and it was a great
hazard getting through them without going over their nets which were
everywhere..
