Before heading back to the yard to complete the sailboat repairs, we met up in Jakarta. Jamie had flown from the UK and Liz from Kuala Lumpur. Now with new Indonesian visas, we were ready to crack on.

He prepares the skeg, while the steering cable block (which had been damaged when it was removed) is welded and repaired by Hendro.
This all means that we are now ready to put the rudder back in place…
Or does it?
