Hi SolMates xx

There are emotional goodbyes, familiar faces stepping onboard and t...
From Medana Bay Marina I take the taxi to Mataram to extend my Indonesian visa. While I’m here I explore the biggest mosque of Lombok: the impressive Islamic Center Mataram Hubbul Wathan. Then I visit the unique Pura Lingsar temple – a rare place where Hindus and Wetu Telu Muslims pray side by side....
After the complete engine replacement, this is finally the first serious test: sailing from Bali to Lombok, straight into the infamous Lombok Strait current – up to 6 knots against me!
Next week you’ll see me exploring beautiful Lombok.
