I saw a fish pot bouy that we were going to be close to, so I went up front to talk about it. Then I realized we were going to get WAY too close to it and had to run back to the helm to change course to avoid it.

This one did not go to plan. Rather than follow the crowd and go along with the Sail to Indonesia Rally fleet to Banda Nera, we intended to day hop along a series of islands from Kei Kecil to explore the remote and seldom visited northern coast of Seram in north western Indonesia but the weather didn’t play the game. After a first night stop at Pulau Kur where we were unexpectedly met by machete wielding youths, we struck out north for a short passage to an island where we had identified three likely looking anchorages. Unfortunately the wind and swell conspired against us making all of them untenable, so we elected to sail on through the night to a Plan B but, when it and then Plan C also didn’t work out, we were forced into coming up with a plan D. When we did finally find shelter add in getting summoned by local officials and having Police onboard and this episode makes for an interesting tale. We hope you enjoy it.

Want to meet this friendly eel? Join us for a dive 👉🏽 https://cruisenautic.com ℹ️ What’s the 1 Sea Serpent You Should Never False ID? The very curious Sharptail Eel is often confused for a sea snake however is harmless and even quite friendly with divers. Sharptail Eels and other snake eels have sharply pointed tails and prominent nostrils which differentiates them from a variety of highly venomous sea snakes who do not live in the Caribbean Sea. An important differentiation for divers to note.
