Up and down the river

After two days of strong wind, light cloud cover and good times with our expanded crew, we arrived in the bay at the mouth of the river to Kumai. We dropped anchor for the night and rose bright and early to sail up the river. Kumai is our jumping point for a two day excursion to Orang Utan where we will visit an orangutan rescue facility.

Traffic on the river is heavy, with local logging boats, cargo liners and other Sail Indonesia vessels, but we are slowly inching towards our goal.
