I farewelled Bali early in the morning, and the sunrise came up over Bali behind me as the G-Land Express fast boat shot off towards Java. Kuta Reef wasn't even breaking as we left, yet between Bali and Java it was reasonably rough with the August tradewinds creating windswells to contend with.
Coming around the G-Land headland 2 hours later, I see that the G-Land Surf is only 2-3ft, and it remained this way for the rest of the day. Waves were mostly at Kongs and Fan Palms. Clean offshores on it all day made for fun waves especially for those who are on their first ever G-Land trip.
Looks like tomorrow should be solid, so stay tuned for how it all goes, whether or not Speedies lights up! Tonight we have a Gandrung dance party to partly celebrate the New Moon and also to tie in with the end of Independence Day week.
