Easter Edge of the Java Sea.


On the chart we are 140 miles north of Bali, or if you prefer, about 75 miles south of the moist southerly tip of Borneo.
Our Course will take us to the north of Pulau Masalembo Kecil (what a great name) and to the south of  Pulau Keramian. Just above the “S” of Java Sea.

Weather conditions are a little above our forecast but are posing no problems and at the moment it is looking good for the next few days.
We have seen a few more vessels today both commercial shipping and fishing boats and that is only likely to increase as we approach Singapore

The music today is as result of a  prompt from a good friend of mine who has often steered me in the direction of good music and who is flowing the voyage on my blog site and is a reminder of when they played the “Endorse It In Dorset” Festival a few years ago.
  Their albums and live work are sutffed full of gems like this beauty
