Finally we reach Nongsa Marina in Batam after some good days sailing. The marina is clean and very welcoming. We all move to a hotel in Nagoya for a few days - about and hour's drive from the marina. Its good to have our laundry done and to sleep in air-con. We find an excellent Italian Restaurant and enjoy fine food and fabulous wine - yey. We have a fun night at the local bars checking out the ex-pat nightlife complete with girlie escorts. This is a duty-free island which is very popular with Singaporeans who are after a fun time.

The guys have a 'blokey' day watching the WA Derby, playing pool and enjoying the Ashes on TV at a local ex-pat bar. Its Ramadan here so some places won't sell grog until 9pm at night. They overcome this by serving beer in white tea-pots with white tea-cups - its hilarious.

We check out of Indonesia with no hassles and motor across the Singapore Straits with no problem.
