• Boat day

    28 juillet 2022, Indonésie ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    I'm up early this morning and must admit I haven't had the best nights sleep, but when I get up and see the sunset and that we've anchored I'm more than happy. I'm even happier as I look over the boat and plain to see in the water is spots of blue plankton and from nowhere a manta swims under the boat. On the shore someone spots a lizard and Cesar takes a photo it really looks like a Komodo. The beach is scattered with monkeys but by the time we have had breakfast and got on board the little boat to be landed on shore there is no sign of Komodo or monkeys. I go for a snorkel and enjoy the abundance of fish and see the biggest clam I've seen in my life opening and closing on the coral beneath my feet. There is also a huge bright blue starfish. The sea life here is so beautiful and after seeing the Komodo is well worth the trip. We take a small hike to the waterfall which for once has water. We have the option to climb the waterfall and of course I participate. It's wonderful we ascend to the top and enjoy swimming in the pools. It's nice to actually get to use my go pro. On the beach I do some more snorkeling and chill out for an hour as this is the only stop of the day and I want to make the most of it. With everyone back on board we set sail. Pretty much as soon as we've left the bay things start getting pretty rough and at one point even I'm feeling the constant crashing of the boat getting to me. One of the bonuses of being at sea is you get some amazing sunsets and tonight is one of those nights but we're still being bobbed about like a cork. And half the boat as well as our guide have been in bed the whole day. We are sailing for 18 Hours non stop so after a beer I take myself to bed and watch a Netflix fim that luckily I've downloaded as we have no internet.En savoir plus
