Well it turned into quite a climb, over rocks, trees, and scrambling our way through the jungle and clay, sometimes on all fours, Jan did well as it got a bit steep at places, I think we can call her �"Jan of the Jungle�" after that one. Anyhow after all of the climbing we popped out on a road right beside the top of the waterfall, it would have been a lot easier by road. Anyhow it was worth the trouble it was a great spot, we went for a dip and soaked in the view for an hour or Two. We left this morning for an easy trip around here, we could have sailed as there is plenty of breeze but we needed to run the water maker, and charge the batteries, so we motored. We found our way in using Google Earth and with Jan on the Bow,it was a bit hard as it was overcast, but we managed. We are anchored a bit close to the reef than would be ideal, a bit further to the SW would have been better. Nevilles spot is the go, we must have drifted a bit setting the Anchor, but it bit in well and we feel OK, we anchored in 13 Meters with a 1.2 meter tide at Selat Peninting. Not sure how long we will stay here, there is a beach not too far away, but its not much of a day for a dinghy ride, so if its nice tomorrow we may stick around. So all good here, doing it pretty tough as usual.
