<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nTo exit the river and pass through the bay was an almost all day-light hour passage, even with the favorable outgoing tide.\u00a0 So Trevor picked a spot in the middle of nowhere (mind you we are traveling on a shelf and the depth was shallow) just before dusk.\u00a0 Dropped anchor with no protection and boy were we rolling but that’s ok… we weighed anchor early the next morning at 5 am for our next leg towards Serutu Island.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly motoring and we did find wind about 4 am the next morning, beam reach with 15-20 knots, we had a favorable tide at this point and our speed over ground reached 7-8 knots! The tides and currents in this area are a bit strange as it travels around Borneo and the surrounding islands so it was difficult to predict which direction the current ran…alas, we arrived at Serutu Island in perfect timing (noon) to see surrounding reefs to drop anchor….it was beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
