CARE MATERIAL DELIVERED TO SINGKIL

Singkil is very shallow and Batavia has to stay a long way out to sea. Our trusty agent has organized several small boats to pick up our delivery for CARE. After an hour of waiting and scanning the horizon we spot an unbelievably tiny boat heading our way. "Can't be it" Jane says after a good look though the binoculars. "Coming our way and they are waving"

Another tiny boat appears out of the coastal haze as we start handing down buckets and chemicals.



Two hours later we weighed anchor off Singkil after successfully dropping buckets and aid boxes of to CARE workers who will deliver it to Simeulue. Already, the Sea Bridge is working! The mother ship enables large amounts of cargo to be moved to very remote places.

The Batavia is now enroute to Meulaboh where they will meet up with people from Operation Blessings, and pick up more aid.
