So, we haven’t been very good at posting current events in our lives, so here’s a little attempt to rectify that situation.
Here We Are
We’re in a town called Labuan Bajo. It’s the gateway city to Komodo Island and its famous dragons.
The Good
Snorkeling at Komodo Island was amazing. Click for a larger version of this picture. The Colors were stunning. There was as much fish life and diversity as we’ve seen anywhere and the hard coral was great.
And while not as pretty as the fish, these guys are cute in their own way.
You’ll be seeing a lot more pictures of these guys in the near future. They put on quite a show for us.
The Bad
No, these guys weren’t bad. They’re helping us out of a bad situation though. Our refrigeration quit working two days ago now. Fortunately, it happened when we didn’t have too much in the freezer. But the horror: Cyndi’s been driven to drinking warm beer!
They took away one part yesterday and found a leak. Tonight, after the hard work of reinstalling the evaporator in our refrigerator, they found another leak. To track down and fix this one, we have to pull all the tubing from our compressor to the refrigerator. This won’t be any fun, but I ran the tubing to install it once, I can do it again.
There are lots of things on Legacy that need attention after 16 months of cruising Indonesia where supplies for repairs are limited. We’ll do what we can when we can. In the mean time, we’re still loving this amazing country!

These are the happy faces of two who fixed a refrigerator and two who now have a fixed refrigerator.
