Day 21 Sept 8th - Sibolga, Indonesia

Everyone was up and about at 5am. I heard the anchor chain being pulled up loudly and stowed away at forepeak.
At exactly 5:30am we started the engine and took off towards Sibolga. Right after dawn, the bow points towards a full rainbow as if we were heading to it.

  We had the main sail and genoa up after few hours but no enough wind so engine were on the whole way. I learned a little how to trim a sail by looking at the tell tails signs.
Andy spotted a turtle about 3 or 4 feet big. We caught a baby tuna it was so small I wish we let it go. Rene cleaned it and made sashimi with it. I got a little nausea first few hours while at sea but soon feeling much better. We arrived at Sibolga bout 9:30pm..There were lots of lights structures made with bamboos sticks...Sibolga is a fishing port..and quite sticky and smelly as there are fish processing plants.
