After motoring in circles for two hours to wait for the sun to be high enough so we could see the reefs, we entered Hoga island anchorage.  The yacht Bali Hai had entered earlier and while the sun was far too low to allow good visibility, bounced off the reef and had to be directed in by other boats in the anchorage.  The next 7 days are a blur as the food poisoning and then Giardia prevented Mike from taking any interest in the surroundings, the snorkelling, the village on stilts or the resort restaurants.

                                     

Once the pills did their stuff and Mike’s recovery was complete we decided to depart on 24 Aug at 1600 for the 230 mile sail direct to Maumere.
