Well-traveled chips
Before we left the boat in late June, there were about 11 bags of various and sundry chips that I tried to give away. I didn’t want to leave them on board for two months, as I was afraid of tempting vermin or insects. All of the chips were kinds that I had only bought…

2 weeks in Japan
On our way back to the boat we stopped in Japan. We visited Disneyland Japan in Tokyo, Warner Bros. Studio Tour to the Making of Harry Potter in Tokyo, and Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. Tomu, Jade, and Riki went on all the scary upside down backwards rollercoasters at USJ. Luz wanted to, but she…

Komodo Dragons, Manta Rays and more

After an overnight sail, we arrived at Wangi Wangi, in Wakatobi National Park. We docked at a free marina, and ended up staying for a week! Yes, free marina. No power or water,…

April happenings
Our first stop back in Indonesia was Pulau Kawio. We rested for a few days and snorkeled to the beach to play Kubb with rocks. We saw dolphins pass by while at anchor. We checked in to Indonesia at Bitung, Sulawesi. It was an all day affair, from 9 am to 7:30 pm. While in…

Better a bleeding heart than none at all.
Just a heads up that this post will talk about the current government of the USA. I know that can be triggering for many people, so you decide if now is a good time to read on or not. My dad, Tom Pratt, died of pancreatic cancer in 2006. There were six weeks between his…

Filipino grocery stores
Once when I was in the NCCC grocery store in Babak, a song came on and all the workers started doing a choreographed dance. How joyful! Some things I think are so ingenious about the grocery stores here: plastic bags come with an extra bit of plastic so you can tie the bag shut without…
