Tied up in Jakarta

We're all tied up in Jakarta, after a 5 day sail down from the Singapore area.

No real drama's, lots of ships, lots of fishing boats and little sleep, but the good thing was we could sail most of the way, only using 28 gal. of diesel for the whole trip.

Gave the boat a bubble bath, then went to the huge Jakarta shopping malls. Very interesting social enviroment here, very rich and very poor.

We're in a new marina, developed by a local industrial billioniare, which cost $100, 000, 000 usd to develop.

we will stay here a week or so then leave for chagos, stay chagos a couple of weeks then leave for the seychelles.
