S. Waibila
16m, anchored
Yesterday we put
some more fuel in the tanks – I siphoned it in while Pete went back and forth
with the little ute. And then, suddenly,
we were off and away! Farewell to
Waisai, off to Sorong! It was quite
windy and wild but not as bad as we had feared.
At 4.30pm we found ourselves in a beautiful peaceful, calm anchorage. Flat sea, not a breath of wind. Oh the relief…

This morning we
are heading for Sorong, because we have to renew our visas. They expire tomorrow, hence the rush. Pete is hoping to be able to get fuel from
the fuel boat in the harbor. Not as easy
as one might think… He has to go to an office in town to fill in many many
forms before we can go and get fueled up.
Yesterday he managed to get money from the ATMs in Waisai. Also a big procedure – sometimes they work,
sometimes they are out of order.
Sometimes they let you get a bit of money, sometimes a lot. Sometimes none. Bearing in mind that 10,000 rupiyah = $10, he
needs a bit roll of cash…So here we have Tony Soprano Headlam!
We probably won’t
stay in Sorong overnight – maybe we will go back to peaceful S. Waibila, and
then on to pastures new.
