08°29.486S 119°52.400E

Sun 19/6

Cast off from Rinca mooring after breafast for an easy 3 hr motor to Labuan Bajo to arrive before lunch. Guests offloaded as this was their intended destination. Norma flew from Bali to Labuan Bajo to join us for the return voyage. So after collecting her early afternoon we moved the yacht a few miles S to a more pleasant anchorage off the beach. The waters close to Labuan Bajo were quite disgusting with large oil and diesel slicks and a constant oil smell.

The four of us went ashore for dinner at the new "Made In Italy" restuarant which was terrific authentic Italian food prepared by owner/chef Marco.

Will head out after breakfast tomorrow morning for a leisurely journey back to Gili Trawangan...
