    Hey Chris and Birgit,
    Wow. Amazing place and what an anchorage youโ€™ve found. Quite incredible and thank you for sharing your stories and pictures. Very Special indeed. Now that weโ€™ve been through your posts we can understand why your location hasnโ€™t changed. You might never come home as itโ€™s probably just going to get better and better. Cheers. GnM

      We should be moving on and finding new places, but this area is surprising. Around every corner, something new.

      At times it feels so remote; see no one for days. And then there’s local fishermen in little tiny boats. It is so special.

        I was thinking it must be very isolated but I see on the map Love lagoon is not far away so there must be some tourists on the tiny island you’re on.

          It is really pretty isolated. We’ve now been here for two weeks, and seen maybe a dozen of the phinisi charter boats with a handful of tourists, and maybe a dozen little fishing longboats, but the only direct contact with others has been a pair of marine park rangers that wanted to see our permits. No one lives on the island. It would be impossible. The karst rock geology that shapes this place makes it difficult to take a foot on shore; there is nothing but rocks, and the rocks are like knives. The only beaches go right under at high tide.
