STRESSFUL NIGHT SAIL TO BAWEAN

Only a few fishermen more and the sun rose as we closed the coast of Bawean.  By nine in the morning we were anchored in Teluk Promahan, a bay sheltered from the SE trade winds on the north of the Island.  It had been a long, busy night and no rest.  I was happy and relieved to be safely anchored and cracked a breakfast beer.  Well, it was five o clock somewhere.

ONWARDS TO JAVA

We departed at a reasonable time in the morning after a proper breakfast.  Once we passed through the entrance channel and were clear of the reefs a welcome breeze greeted us.  The breeze became fresh from the SE, we romped along with just the yankee working well, no need to break out the mainsail.
