Besar (Water Islands) Lat 02 Deg 06.434'N Lon 102 Deg 20.607'E Well we made it up here to the Water Islands OK, but it was a long hot motoring all day saga, we had the sails up and down a couple of times, but they weren't doing much. It's the first day like that I can remember in quite a while so I cant really complain, it was broken up a bit at lunch time, by a tropical thunderstorm, I thought it was all set to clobber us, but we managed to avoid it and only got a few drops of rain. It's just beautiful here now, there was a nice sunset, we have good internet, even a radio station playing our kind of music, so all good, and hoping there is nothing brewing over at Sumatra to disturb the piece. We will probably go into Port Dixon Marina tomorrow, we weren't going to worry but the I might top up with Diesel, I have enough but not much of a safety margin. We anchored in 4.6 meters, with 0.8 of a meter at Pulau Undan, the anchor set well.
