Another Barramundi Night at the local club where we chatted with a young German, Oliver Haas, who, after years of globe-trotting through South-East Asia and working as PADI-master at the Gangga Island Resort in North Sulawesi and the Nabucco Island Resort in East Kalimantan, has now settled with his Indonesian wife Lanny plus two kids in the Bay where he makes a living baking pizzas. "Please Sir, I want some more."
On our way to the club we briefly stopped at the marina where an unusual boat had caught our attention.
With a Russian crew of six and an Australian who joined them at Brisbane, this 15-metre wooden replica of a Viking ship has travelled from Europe through Africa, then Thailand, Indonesia, and now down the east coast of Australia on its way to the Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart, before continuing on its round-the-world trip.
Mind you, it's by no means a quick voyage: a GOOGLE search revealed that it had arrived in Darwin in November 2011, a good fourteen months ago, where the crew, under its Captain Sergey Sinel'nik (37), began their search for a cheap place to park the boat in dry dock for several months, until the currents and winds were right to proceed once again.
It also caught the attention of the local rag who reported on it under the headline Viking ship sails into Batemans Bay.
