After an over-night sail from Sorong we arrived at Nampale, a small group of islands with wide rivers between them, a crocodile country.
The water was crystal clear and full of fish. Alon went spear fishing with Dion and latch and together they all caught 6 pretty big fish! 6 of them were caught by Dion...
On the way to Sorong John ran out of smokes... Coming to the rescue, Alon took a piece of wood out of the kitchen's furniture and curved John a beautiful pipe. A true piece of art...
Smoking the pipe didn't prove to be such a great experience, but desperate times call for desperate measures...
We finally arrived at Sorong, the last major town before leaving west Papua and sailing towards Sulawesi. Sorong was great fun. Although it was a bit too dirty to John's taste...
John wasn't handsome enough to model for his own pipe, so Alon had to do it...
The pipe. A fashion accesory more than anything...
Green bread. Tastier, better looking, longer shelf life. Why would you ever choose white?
To break up the trip from Biak to Sorong, we stopped in Korido on the way. Wise move.
We discovered a lazy little village with a massive wharf, for some obscure reason, flat calm water and a fresh water stream were the locals wash and do their laundry. So we washed and did our laundry...
The city of Biak was a good place to stop and rest for a bit, refuel and fill our water tanks up. We met some good fishermen who helped us a lot with the fuel.
We met up with Unicorn and Byamee in Biak and we all had a couple of lazy days in town, walking through the markets and streets of Biak.
From Jayapura, we kept on truckinig, stopping at some small islands and bays on the way. We found some spots with fresh water springs which were really nice, had baths and did our washings in them...
and tidy, unlike the Huba-lubas of PNG...
