A life on the ocean wave

I wake this morning with a hangover and panic because I can't remember paying the bill. Loretta messages me and I'm relieved when she tells me we paid. We are due to get picked up at 9am but I don't panic as as Cesar and Elena are still waiting as well. Just after 10 we get picked up and are driven 3 minutes down the road to a restaurant where there are maybe 40plus people sitting waiting for the bus that will take us to the harbour. We're given a form to fill in of what we want for the boat drinks wise. Someone has actually ordered 36 large beers and I'm hoping they don't get sea sick. We eventually get picked up at midday and everyone is loaded onto the bus together with all the rucksacks in the aisles. We're told that the journey will take 2 hours but after 2 hours we stop for a toilet rest so I guess we're going to be a little while longer. We eventually reach the harbour and I'm really surprised at how old the boat is and the cabin with a fan is literally just a double mattress and a small plug in fan. There's murder on the boat because 6 Spanish people have booked a cabin each cabin each but there are only 3 cabins allocated to them. I honestly don't know what they expect to happen as we can't magic cabins. Eventually we set sail and through the port the fishermen are casting their nets. I must say though I've been a little disappointed with the seafood here. We leave the harbour of Sengiggi and after 2 hours we reach a small dessert island in the middle of the sea called Gili Kondo its unreal an island with nothing growing on it washed up with coral. The current here is really strong and a few people attempt to swim back to the boat but fail as soon as they leave the shore the current drags them and they are saved by the little boat or by being thrown a life buoy. We spend a good hour here snorkeling and relaxing and it's amazing at how alive the coral is here on the beach we get picked up by the boat which to my dismay has a hole in the bottom. The sunset is slightly hindered by cloud but even still is beautiful once the sun has set. Literally as the sun disappears the stars appear and the sky is full of stars and I mean full. I'm absolutely in my element cruising along on the waves with a bright night sky enhanced by the fact we've brought a bottle of rum for a little evening tipple. Dinner is served and is delicious rice an array of vegetables and fish. There is quite a young crowd on the boat and as we sail things get a little choppy and one of the girls is really struggling with seasickness, I take her under my wing and look after her for a few hours before eventually she lies down on the middle deck and falls asleep. At 10 o'clock we drop anchor for a few hours and I make the most of the calmness and head to bedLes mer
