20180811 Tukan Bay Lat 02 Deg 58.517'N Lon 105 Deg 46.921'E I checked out with the Harbour Master at 07:00 this morning and after packing the dinghy away, we got under way. We has a great sail down here in 15 or so knots, we were either close hauled, or sheets just eased to clear a few reefs, it was a good run. We were anchored by about 14:30, and after packing the sails and things away, we both had a nice snooze, we will stay on board today and get away first thing in the morning. We have not cleared out of Indonesia so wont go to Tioman, as we want to head down to Lingga, which might make it a bit hard as its all to windward. So depending on conditions, I think we will sail as close to the wind as is comfortable, and perhaps gain some shelter at Pulau Aur, Tinggi or Sibu if required. It might have been smarter to clear out of Indonesia and go straight to Tioman, but we would still have to work our way South, and its an overnighter anyhow, we will see. So all good here, all full of fuel and food, and hoping for a little bit of a lighter breeze for the next couple of days. We Anchored in 6.0 meters over Sand, with 1.2 meters of tide at Impul Passage, this is a Beautiful Anchorage
