Mausambi

Hi everyone,
Today we sailed from Maumere to Mausambi, logging a distance of 37nm in 7 hours 30 minutes.  We had light winds and motored all but the last hour.  It was a nice passage past very varied scenery.  For most of the passage we were within 0.5nm of Kokomo V, so we took pictures of each-other and they took some great video of us.

On arrival we anchored in 14m over sand at 08 30.204S 121 47.201E.  That's between two reefs which run W-E.  One can anchor south of both or between them.  We are between the two.

We are now anchored near two Swedish and one German yacht, with Kokomo V, Nefertiti 1 and Dutch yacht Dalwhinnie anchored on the other side of the reef.  An hour or so after arriving a fish feeding frenzie erupted nearby.

Here are some of the photos of Kokomo V and Zen Again as we motor-sailed along today...

Later in the afternoon we went for a swim to continue cleaning the hull.  We're on the last stage - cleaning the keel.  That shows two things - we're nearly done, and our diving is improving!
