A SNAKE ON THE BOAT!!!! and Visiting the Volcano Lake island of Satonda in Indonesia

Episode 413 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we arrive to the island of Satonda off the coast of Sumbawa. This unique island features lake at its center in crater of the volcano. Its last eruption was in April of 1815 as part of the Tombora Eruption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satonda_Island

The depth of the lake is actually lower than the surrounding waters that Triteia is anchored in (deepest part of the lake is 226ft deep). This was a crazy thing to imagine as we looked down into the crater and lake from the ridge above. After a rad but very hot hike, the warm waters of the lake offered only a slight relief.

Later that night I had the very memorable experience of grabbing the handrail in the cabin in the dark to find a snake coiled around it. It turned out to be a harmless Oriental Wold Snake but this was only known well after the fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycodon_capucinus

I hope to never repeat that experience, with any snake, harmless or not.
