20180805 Badjau NE Lat 03 Deg 08.918'N Lon 106 Deg 19.945'E We had a great time at Kiabu, we were off exploring in the dinghy again, and walked the full length of most of the beaches in sight. We ran into a bloke on one of the beaches, he had come in his Canoe fishing, he was a nice bloke, also called Michael, he spoke good english so we had a chat, he came over to the Boat later for a cuppa, he works at Bawah which is a resort Island 20 or so miles away, he was on his time off and out fishing with his uncle, he gave us a couple of fish which we had for dinner. We had a nice downwind sail here today, stopping at Pulau Semut South on the way, we would have anchored but it was a bit exposed to the wind, so we pushed on, it was an easy day Jibing down wind, under Jenoa only at 6 or so knots. This seems a nice spot, a bit tight since we are anchored in 20.3 meters, but with 4 to 1 scope I have enough room, it feels like a sand or mud bottom. We will probably head off to Moon rock lagoon in the morning.
