We cast off at 8 AM and leave Benoa harbor with views of colorful traditional fishing
boats and a vast array of marine activities.
The trolling lines will be set to tempt the game fish
We sail to the Island of Lombok approximately 30 Nautical Miles away. Lombok is referred
to as "Bali before the tourists". |

Our course will take us
past the beautiful Island of Nusa Penida and it’s quaint fishing villages. |

We stop for
a snorkel or swim on the reef.  height="80" align="left">Dolphins & turtles are normally
spotted.
Our first Landfall on Lombok hosts a world famous surf spot "Desert Point" known
for one of the longest waves in the world. Experienced surfers are usually observed
enjoying this sacred surf spot.

We then enter the
sheltered waters of Southern Lombok and it’s many small Islands |
· |
Our anchorage for the
night is a secret hideaway that features a huge bay with a small fishing village. There
are no motorcycles or Automobiles on this island. Most of the villagers still wear the
same clothing and the same routine s have they have for centuries. Over the past several
years we have never seen another Yacht or foreigner at this location. |

private enjoyment of our guests.A shore
excursion will result in a warm exciting welcome by dozens of children who wait for our
usual offering of candies. They normally provide rare and beautiful seashells in exchange.
The children will accompany you for awhile and then leave so that you may enjoy a private
excursion on the white sand beach. Snorkeling is great just off the point. |

Sunset in
this bay can only be described as magical. After another gourmet dinner our guest often
comment "it just does not get any better than this" |

waters. |

A colorful fleet of small
dug out canoes will sail by from their nightly fishing expeditions providing for postcard
quality pictures. A senior fisherman will stop by to offer his fresh catch of calamari
that our chef will turn into a mouthwatering Shish Kebab for lunch. |
