It is not a great distance from Labuan Bajo to the
south of Rinca Island, but we went through a narrow channel between islands with
about 5 kts with us. An exciting ride. We are in a beautiful bay with high hills
all around us. Komodo Dragons on the beach, as well as pigs, deer and monkey's.
We were the only boat for a while, but then two others arrived. We watched some
dragons fighting on the beach right behind the boat, impressive show they put
on. Duncan did some snorkeling, while I followed in the dinghy as the currents
are strong here, also the water is much colder. We'll stay here another day and
explore some beaches, avoiding the dragons.
