Kei islands 🏝 lots of wow

We left beautiful Wotap Island, our Chrissy hideaway, heading up to the launch point for a 65nm crossing to Kei Islands. The crossing was an interesting ⛵️... just us, the ocean, 101 flying fish, an unlucky ( but yummy) dolphin fish, a few squalls & a day of in/out sails. We arrived @ Tanimbar Kei, drowned 🐀 & knackered.
The next morning we discovered Warbal Island/ Ngurtavur Beach ❤️ where despite our terrible Bahasa we made friends, were given kelapa (coconuts) & got the local 👍....we are also quite a bit lighter on fishingline, pencils, books, hooks, lures and biscuits 😁.
Our 1st mate Kopi, collector of beach fees, being a friendly & patient chap introduced himself many times...we dumb asses 🤪 kept offering to share cuppa as Kopi means Coffee 😆. When Kopi visited us, Ted raided the cupboard for a few clothes & promised 👓. Kopi was stoked & put 👕 straight on. Oops, it was mine 🤣🤣... very hard to keep a straight face & impossible to ask to swap it for another.
Kopi family made us cake as thank you. Cake/ Kue... Ted heard as quail...it was a nervous wait as he unwrapped 😆.
Awesome location... lots of snorkelling colourful reefs & fish, beach walks & friendly boat visitors.Read more
