Alternating between sailing and motor-sailing on passage between Lingga and then Banka Island and Sumatra. Weather generally fine (hot) with occasional rain. Passing SW tip of Banka had to weave between tankers anchored near to the Muncka oil terminal. Managed to pick up 3G as we were within half a mile of the coast at times. After exiting the Banka channel turn S for the final run down the Sumatra coast towards the Sunda Straight.
