Hi Fullas, we have just left the outer islands off the west coast of Sumatra and are now anchored in a small cove about 50 miles down the west coast from Banda Aceh.
On my last days surf in Lakon Island I got caught up in the lip of substantial wave and had a major freefall to the bottom, not only was it the longest hold down I’ve had this year but I do remember when I was groveling around down there that I probably have broken my board as well. Sure enough a clean snap .Oh well, only one board in 3 months.
In the last 2 days we have had more sailing than the last 3 months and it’s been lovely just seeing how well the boat sails again. I’m sure you guys know what I’m like when I haven’t been sailing for a while. For those who don’t, I am a prick. All good now though.
We are heading for Pulau Weh and islands near ,just off Banda Aceh ,for a food and fuel stock up and clear out with Indo officials, fun.
Karin’s hunter/gathering spear fishing is going well so we are not going hungry. Rice is a stable diet though, just as well we like it. Karin was saying this morning that she’s really hanging for a big steak. The closest I have come to it was some dry buffalo jerky last week in Nias.
Someone please tell America, England and Australia that it is official, there are no pirates or terrorists here, maybe back in 1640,but not now. The people here are normal, just like us ,with family just like us and values just like us, however unlike us they are not so concerned with the current world crisis as they have had more than their fair share of REAL crisis. Even though they hardly have a thing ,they have big smile and have been very, very welcoming to us on Moonwalker.
Cheers for now ,and the worst thing is not having you all here to share it with us.
Please if you read this just drop us a couple of lines!
