After enjoying the perfect blend of traditional Indonesian culture and Western ammenities, as well as the worst storm to hit this gorgeous little island in many years. We set sail to the World renowned Komodo Island in search of the Komodo Dragon.
Whilst we are both fascinated and terrified by these beast, it will totally be a highlight of our time in Indonesia. 

Labuan Bajo, is one of a kind, with some of the most well presented and clean ammenities we have come across. Super friendly locals and very accessible for the sailing community. 

We enjoying pub style meals, amazing Italian, oh and Jess going Cheese and Cacao. 

We have relaxed at one of the local resorts that welcomed day visits. 

We also had to endure a harrowing 12 hour storm, that ravished the town and had our boat thrown around. 
40 knot winds sustained, 4 metre swell and a lot of rain. 

The devastation on shore for the locals was far worse. Several smaller vessels were capsized and destroyed and left in pieces floating around the bay. The floating docks were all destroyed and the locals said 4 large majestic Phinisi’s were also lost. Such a sad sight, however these locals are a force of their own, they all band together to rebuild, clean up and accomodate. 

We love Labuan Bajo. 

On our journey over we encounter the worst currents we have come across, with 2 engine and full throttles we were barely reaching 1.2 knots and were getting spun around. 
Even though it was only a short section it felt like eternity. 

Safely anchored now in amongst a bunch of liveaboard an and near the Ranger Station. Time to suss out this place.
