We left Karimata the next afternoon to sail overnight to Belitung as we heard from Chris on Tulu, during the daily HF radio net, that our lovely friends Tom and Susie on Adina were in Belitung and hoping to catch up with us.  As we had not seen them since Tonga a year ago and had not expected to meet up until late November it was an absolute must.  The visibility improved as we went south and by 0300 in the morning we could actually see stars.  We had sailed all night from Karimata in company with Carrie and followed them, Enchantment and Pikuditu into the anchorage, where we were able to drop the hook 30m away from Adina.  Much jubilation, gin and wine followed that evening.
