We stopped for a day in Langau, a little sandy beach with the coconut trees, the little paradise we promised shane.
We climbed a few trees and feasted on coconuts. We also found a couple of very nice and friendly cats. We shared our coconuts with them. We didn't eat the cats.
From Kumai it took us three days to get to Gambar, the next island. We were sailing through shallow waters all along, although we were quite far from land.
It felt really strange, at the end of each day we just dropped the anchor, seemingly in the middle of the ocean, without any land in sight, and went to bed...

We finally arrived at Kumai, said our farewells to the French ticklers, and found Shane . Shane is Alon's friend from New-Zealand and he flew in to join us sailing to Thailand. He flew in Kumai three days earlier and waited for us for without knowing where we were and what happened to us... as we got into Kumai, everybody around was telling us that Shane's waiting for us, including other yachts over the radio and indo-lubas in town...
From Makasaar we picked up Joe and Chloe, a young french couple, and sailed towards Kumai with them. We had some good fun with Joe and Chloe, although it wasn't all nice all the time and it was hard for everyone to adjust to the new dynamics. We had a lot of adventures on the way, including an autopilot that broke, a full on storm and a tuna quiche...
The band at the wedding. We didn't realize such bad noise was possible. It seemed that every guy there was playing a different song and the sound man fell asleep and pushed all the knobs to the max...© Blogger template The Beach by Ourblogtemplates.com 2009
