| I find it hard to understand why a country that is so poor would leave perfectly good Life Rafts and Air Conditioning units of these wrecked Ferries. |
“Elevation” caught up and we joined them for one night at Labuan before heading for Maumere.
We anchored near Seaworld S8 38.02 E122 18.60 resort and enjoyed the facilities of the western side of the anchorage.
They had an Internet room, restaurant and a beach bar.
One evening we had a nice meal on the beach.

Next we sailed to a bay/ village called Nagaruong in the Flores Isles. S8 30.0 E121 42.8 about an eight hour sail. Around the halfway mark (230nm), I was just nodding off when the fishing rod went off with a scream. Cathy raced to lock off the clutch, just in time to see a massive fish jump in the air and shake itself loose. A few minutes later the same thing, this time I looked out the cabin port in time to see it do the same thing again. Later I pulled the line in to find that the wire trace was bitten through. Whatever it was we didn't want onboard anyway, far to big and aggressive.
We then anchored in Rangkoh for a couple of nights before heading across to the Komodo Islands.
