After close to a year visiting in Australia, it was a big change to arrive in Kupang, (West-) Timor, Indonesia. We felt that we were a little short of time and had to choose some anchorages on our way through the big land of islands. The variations are huge in Indonesia and one month was a bit short time really to experience the countryt . Luckily – Indonesia is still there waiting for us to visit again.
Eirik is growing... In Indonesian waters we had to keep a good lookout all the time. The Captain on a walk in the inner parts of Kupang.
Kupang Nightmarket.
Rindja Island, the neighbour island of Komodo Island, also has Komodo Dragoons.
Peek-a-boo!
Able Seaman on training...
The Veritas' regulations are followed all the way! The name of the local beer in Indonesia is Bintang... An interesting way of fishing...
Our able seaman at The Royal Bali Yacht Club. Some adjustments was required with the young sailor onboard... The prototype of Undarousa...???
Maintenance on the teakdeck. Finally Eirik got to meet "uncle" Josh - - and "grandad" Nat - from the American yacht Bahati.
The sun was in Zenit and we had warm days through Indonesian waters.
The Uluwatu Monastery is a "must see" when visiting Bali.
The few squall's gave sailing conditions for a few minutes.
Most of our way through Indonesian waters we had no wind or very light winds.
Soon I can walk...
Also this time Neptun visited as we crossed Equator. Too bad the Captain was visiting the toilet at that moment...
In some areas anchored rafts were all over - and they were impossible to see at night!! You have to start early to be a good - surfer. Luxury life in Nongsa Point Marina, Batam Island, Indonesia.
Sometimes even a sailor on a looong voyage eats at a restaurant...
Our last anchorage in Indonesian waters did not get many visits from yacht. The children loaded Empire with cocnuts.
Eirik is very popular where ever we are...
Numerous ships and oil platforms were anchored near Singapore.
