ALMOST IN SIBOLGA... and Bu Is is on board to cook!

Just got a communication from Rick...

The Batavia is about to dock in Sibolga. They are awaiting a pilot ship, and will refuel there.

Ali returned from Simeulue to Padang from the area because he was determined to get on the boat.

Bu Is called up at 11pm from the ship while Jane and Rick were packing...she is the Cameron's housekeeper. She said she and her daughter were packed and coming on the ship to look after the cooking! The entire team were amazed and very happy to have her on board. Her decision was spontaneous and we had no idea that she had been thinking about joining. It is her first trip on a ship ever and she has the kitchen humming.

Her photo is below. Its lovely to know that the team is well looked after, and eating happily. She is a SUPERB cook!
