Hi Everyone,
  Email access has hit a new all time low.  No boat access and I can’t seem to attach any word documents to this internet cafe computer.  I have written up several about our time in Kumai learning about the orangutans, the rain forest and the modern day Dayak people.  Hopefully I will be able to send them before then end of the month when we will be at a marina  in Malaysia near Singapore.  No details here, sorry.
   My Red Sox are in a scary place but I haven’t given up hope!  Go Sox!
Belitung is a lovely little island.  People are welcoming, friendly and try to be helpful.  Randal and I did a school visit with our new friend Hairmardi who teaches English and is also the  vice-principal,  We visited his home and met his wife and children.  They came to visit our boat.
   Have to run to catch the bus back for the 40 minute ride to our anchorage.

ps Thanks for the Birthday Greetings.  I had to go up on stage at a Sail Indonesia event and have everyone sing for me!  Hairmardi’s students sang for me to so they would have to use their English
