Belitung

View from the anchorage

Sea Bunny got to Belitung on Sunday afternoon after a long haul against wind and current from Bangka. The tides here are diurnal i.e they only change once a day but the stream didn't change in direction, only strength. We anchored virtually on our 2008 waypoint.

Monday was doing a successful temporary fix of the fridge - new one being delivered to Cocos Keeling P.O - so the cheese mountain does not have to be thrown away!
Tuesday was Indonesian bureaucracy day - immigration and customs - and shopping. Excellent fruit and veg market.
Wednesday the battens for the cupboard shelves were found and fixed in.

Company - US yacht Strider

Thursday - taking on and filtering another 300 l of diesel from dirty (outside) leaky cans in a fairly choppy sea and between heavy rain showers.
Dutifully followed agents advice to return cans to different location as the police were with the delivery truck.
 Not pleasant! Nearly all day job including clean up.

Now we are back to Plan B and will leave here tomorrow for an anchorage further south in Belitung ready for a departure towards the Sunda Strait on Sunday.

When we leave this anchorage we shouldn't be somewhere we've been before for the next 12000 miles or so.
