After an interesting evening at Fakfak, we decided it was not worth staying another day, mainly as there was nowhere to anchors safely. 
We have overhead powerlines and the anchorage went from 25m to 1.5 in what felt like an instant. 
The Pilot Boat for the Harbour had told us to move beyond the powerlines, which would put us in 1.5m of water, so we made the call to leave. 
Whilst it had some charm, it was a very big and noisy city and after so long in remote areas it was a little too much to manage. 
The supermarkets really only stocked junk food, and the fruit and veg markets were a cab or motorbike ride away. 
Not quite what we were expecting. 
Anyway, we are back to the lovely peacefulness of remote West Papua.
