We will board the liveaboard in Saumlaki, one of the easternmost islands in Indonesia. We'll then sail north through the Banda Sea through a chain of islands and atolls known as the Forgotten Islands. One of the attractions of the Banda Sea, besides us most likely being the only boat in the area, are the reefs. They are absolutely mind-blowing. The coral is so dense that you will be hard-pressed to see any patches of the reef's limestone foundation. Many of the reefs consist of expansive fringing hard coral plateaus that extend from the island or atoll and then eventually drop off into the deep blue. These walls or slopes are covered in sponges, colorful soft corals, and sea fans. Additionally, there will be plenty of reef dwellers like dazzling schools of tropical fish, larger pelagic species like tunas, jacks, and batfish passing in the blue, and juvenile reef sharks patrolling the shallows. It's also the time of the year when the blue whales start their migration south to Australia. Thus, it may be possible to spot one or several from the boat.

Solinska bay Visited in the Summer 2021 Nice free anchorage open to SE and S. Sand and grass. For safe anchoring, look for sand patches as it will hold better and cause less devastation. Clear water, nice snorkelling.  Pebble beach in the corner and couple of houses on the W side. Mainly quiet except a few day visitors with small crafts. No buoys  Good internet wesailcroatia.com info@wesailcroatia.com We are skipper and hostess (available for hire), promoting sailing style of holidaying in Croatia. If you are a sea gipsy, a real sailor (I mean, sailing, not motoring your way), and like to stay away from main charter routs and marinas … this might be the right place for you. We sail 8 m boat on a tight budget, so we are going to explore and look for all nice places where we can anchor without paying overpriced buoy fields and marinas. Explore local villages, restaurants, look for water and food supply, compare prices and share any information we find useful.
