There is a light at the end of the ocean....

Under Motor, we made our way out of the beautiful Bay of Bawean. We could not do much sailing. There was no Wind at all. The waves were about 0.5 to 0.8m high and felt like being cradled to sleep. During the day, you could see the fishermen in their little boats crossing your path. In front of you, behind you, port side and starboard side, where ever you looked you saw at least one Fishing Boat every five minutes. During the night, you could mainly see the Squid boats with their bright lights, raking the sea in a line, coming towards you. Occasionally you past a little Fishing Boat, just to keep the variety up. At some stages you could see up to 30 Boats coming in your direction. In the daylight these squid boats were anchored just where they were when the sun came up, and made it much easier for us to pick a course through. (Photo Cargoship at night in the far distance)
