30/12

Docked at Bali Int Marina early morning so frantic boat clean and scrub as guests now arriving a day early due to airline strikes in U.K.

Also freezer not finished its rebuild so Evan applying some smoke and mirrors to hide it under the saloon seat and a quick facade to complete the concealment.

Clearance was fairly painless as usual in Benoa. Just slow as most of the authorities still using Remingtons and two fingers to prepare all the paperwork - while I struggle writing through 5mm of carbon paper to create the 6 required copies of the crew list, and Navy had lost the key to the CAIT office so I sat for an hour until someone discovered the door unlocked and key inside!

Guests arrived mid afternoon, so cast off for a slow overnight to Blongas Bay on Sth Lombok  aiming for a sunrise arrival.
