Komodo Trip


Stella was left Jakarta on the 21st of December 2007 and reached Singaraja on the 25th. The voyage to Komodo Island started on the 26th when I and Amir, my close friend from the law student time arrived from Jakarta and transported by car driven by our friend, Dedet from Denpasar. After around 3 hours of unpleasant drive to Singaraja we just get on board and sleep. We started our journey the next morning on the 27th and stop at Gili Trawangan for two nights enjoying our selves by snorkeling and diving the area. On the 28th we reached Moyo Island, a private island in Sumbawa where Aman Wana Resort is located. We anchored at the Aman Wana cove and left the island the next morning to Sape, a small port in the East Sumbawa Island. The next day we are stranded at the channel on the way to Komodo Island. What an experience. We have been out in the open sea for days and could not get through the channel because the water was so low and the current so strong that our skipper Imam, decided to anchored and wait until the water tides up and the current slower. Finally we reached Komodo Island on the 29th. On the picture, Stella looking good anchoring in Labuan Bajo.
