    Across to Debut village for NY eve, located on Kai Kecil, home of the Hawang Caves.... 10min scooter through village, trek down slippery stairs to 🏊‍♀️ in the cool, cave waters 😊. Our friendly rider found us a Bintang shop on return trip so we set for NY. Lol, too many 🍺 & 🍾 (thx Chris & Tam) had us making 💤 by 10pm 🤣.
    Next, Ngurbloat Beach where we stayed a few nights enjoying crispy cumi (squid) & chill time. A stunning beach but also a stunning amount of rubbish 😔
    Quick stop into city of Tual for fuel/food. Having heard a dingy motor was stolen a few weeks prior our moto was In/out. Fuel ✅️ , food ❌️ ...our remaining Aus veg in better condition than shop options 😲.
    With 300+ nm to Raja Ampat, we have started our island-hopping adventure north, using no-wind days to push up instead of fighting the prevailing winds.
    Lots of motoring = lots of time...to bake, paint, do washing, practice Indonesian, fishing & processing our catch... 😮‍💨 all rubbish.
    Each stop takes us further into the remote... 🙌 locations are beautiful & have friendly locals to say hello.
