Day 126, Year 3: Work Day in Teluk Naré
Date: Hari Jumat (Friday), Bulan Sèptèmber 12, Pada Tahan 2008
Weather: Another Sunny, Perfect Day
Location: Teluk Naré (Kombal), NE Lombok, West Nusa Tengarra Province, Indonesia
Our little bay here seems to maintain about 20 boats. Some leave each day, but more come. The winds have been gentle the past few days, so the Gili Air anchorage is holding at least 12-15 boats. The Lombok rally celebration happens tomorrow and I figure all the boats in Gili Air and here in Teluk Naré will be headed to the celebration late tomorrow afternoon. The rally organizers are trying to figure out transportaion for us, so we will be ready to go at 3 pm. Earlier in the day we plan to take
a taxi south to Sengiggi. Evidently the road from here to there runs right along the shore and is quite dramatic.
So tomorrow will be a play day. Today was a work day and Mark did an amazing job of making Sunbrella covers for our badly deteriorated closed cell foam cockpit cushions. They looked absolutely awful and now they look great. It was a long hot day for Mark, but the results are fantastic. He has made me a very happy woman.
Nice job on the cushions Mark … you’ll have to post a photo.
Don’t know how much you are hearing about Hurricane Ike hitting Texas at this hour, but am glad you’re not dealing with these kinds of storms.
I live in Houston and survived hurricane Ike…definately not something I’d want to sail through. Ironically, I live in the Clear Lake area of Houston and I never got flooded or lost power, but counltess really nice boats not far from my house were totalled.
