After not such a nice two day motor sail from Bawean Island, due to being hit by a heavy storm and then loosing all our wind and having to motor for 24hrs, we arrived at the Kumai river in South Kalimantan last night just as night was falling. We had to navigate the last 10 miles up river in the dark which was a little worrying but not a problem with the help of our Radar and Way points. Kalimantan is the southern part of Borneo Island belonging to Indonesia and the reason we're here is to see the 'man of the forest' otherwise known as Orangutans! We're anchored off the town of Kumai and tomorrow we'll be picked up by a boat that will take us up river and deep into the jungle of Tanjung Putting National Park the home to the well known Camp Leaky. We'll be gone for two days and one night sleeping under the stars on the deck of the boat so I'll let you know how it goes as soon as we're back.
