Sabu Island

We arrived at Sabu on the morning of 9th August. We saw a large ketch anchored between two reefs about 3 miles from the main town of Seba and decided to anchor there as well. It was a lovely place. There were breaking waves on both sides of us and people were surfing but the anchorage remained calm. We had to re-anchor as the local fishermen wanted to fish in the spot we had chosen at first. It wasn't long before we had 6 fishermen on Sal Darago, drinking water and eating biscuits. Their outrigger canoes were tied to our dinghy. Jeremy tried his very best to have a conversation in Bahasa Indonesia. It was hard work but the fishermen were very patient with him.
