September 15, 2011 -- Back to Gili Aer

We barely got a slurp of coffee down before our early departure from Ubud for the fast boat back from Bali to Gili Aer. For anyone following, take note: the Sea Marlin fast boat is a much pleasanter ride than Eka Jawa!

Back on Gili Aer, the anchorage was packed with Rally boats. Hard to believe that when we first arrived we were the only one! It was nice to see again old friends, some of whom, of course aren't so old, but friends made in Darwin, Kupang and Alor! Oddly, the tourist population ashore seemed much diminished.

Quantum Leap, of course was long gone, on their way to Kalimantan and the orangutan experience, so, as planned we moved aboard the 60' power cat, Dedalus. Our hosts George and Melinda made us feel like honored guests. We enjoyed a lovely last dinner ashore with George's visiting brother Stan at Scallywag's, then it was home and to bed for an early departure.
