High Drama
No.20
Indonesia
November,
2003
Selat sore!
That’s Bahasa
Indonesian for “Good afternoon!”
Log
20 covers High Drama in Indonesia. Lee Carr makes
another appearance as a crewmember on High Drama and
serves as our ringer in the Rally from Darwin, Australia to Kupang,
West Timor, Indonesia. Unfortunately Lee departed High Drama
in the scenic industrial city of Bima and we sailed on to Bali,
one of the culture rich areas of Indonesia. After Bali we sailed
for Borneo (now known as the Indonesian state of Kalimantan) where
we met orangutans in the wild at a preserve. Those of you who want
to see pictures of The King should jump the end of these pages now.
We
receive email by radio while at sea. As always, we enjoy hearing
from you. Due to persistent spam we no longer publish our email
addresses. If you don’t have our Sailmail email address, please
contact the web master and he will be glad to give you our address.
We always enjoy hearing from you!
The
Darwin to Kupang Rally
The Rally
from Darwin, Australia to Kupang, Indonesia was not supposed to
be a race. But it had all of the attributes of a race. We traveled
475 miles across the Arafura Sea in the company of 25 other boats.
After a day the wind died and High Drama’s auxiliary diesel
took over. When we crossed the starting line on July 26,2003 a boat
threw water balloons at us. In a gesture of defiance we mooned them.
It turned out that the boat was the press boat and we got some coverage
in the local newspaper!
