There was a carcass on the beach that had been picked clean by dragons. I took a stand up paddle surfboard over to see if I could identify it. I was a few meters off the beach when one of the dragons, a smaller one about 6 feet long, entered the water. I knew dragons could swim but I did not know how well. It swished its tail back and forth and quickly built-up speed. It swam faster than I could swim but not as fast as I could paddle the SUP out of there. When I changed course, it changed course so it seems the dragon was up to no good. Komodo dragons can and do attack in the water, such occurrences are relatively rare compared to their terrestrial hunting activities. Was happy to provide a good laugh for the guests watching back on the boat! Cannibal Rock, Lehok Uwada Dasami, page 142.

Although the Komodo Islands are nice year around, it’s the May to Sept season that gets the most visitors. Folks enjoy the predictable trade winds, cooler temperatures and dry skies. And the wild life both above and below the water is spectacular. You don’t even need dive tanks to enjoy many of the locations as depths are shallow. Pictured here is the Rinca Anchorage, one of our favorites when hanging out with dragons. Chapter 15: Komodo National Park page 139.

Surf season in the southern isles of Indonesia has begun. Consistent offshore trade winds keep anchorages calm and predictable while swell wraps around the headland, groomed into clean long lines. The anchorage sits just at the tail end of the wave offering spectacular views of the action. See chapter 16 SUMBAWA page 168 for details. 📷

Majestic Mount Lecyansir with superyacht Kudanil Explorer tucked in safe and sound in Teluk Lobo. Just around the corner are the Bagan fishing platforms where you can swim with whalesharks. Lobo has a small pier for beach access and some western settlement memorabilia from the 1800’s. Page 46 Anchorage (A), Chapter 2 – Triton Bay. Image

This bay is a manta ray nursery. The babies and juvenile manta rays are skittish and you never see them when diving or snorkelling, but viewed from up here you just might catch a glimpse of them doing underwater backflips, loop-the-loops, or lounging upside down in the warm morning sunshine. It is also a great anchorage. Chapter 1 – Raja Ampat.

Pulled in here at sunset to get out of a storm. Woke up like this. Chapter 1 – Raja Ampat.

Best anchorage in Indonesia? This is my favorite. What is yours and why?

As the wet season westerlies bring rain and stormy weather to the southern latitudes of indonesia much of the charter fleet and private yachting community head up to the equator to enjoy the calm protected doldrum sunshine of Raja Ampat. How nice do these anchorages look. Raja Ampat – Chapter 1 page 32.
