Bali Lovina Beach

After 2 nights at Gili Air we got an email that Dorothy's father had just passed away.  We decided to move the boat to Lovina beach to make it easier for her to fly home to attend the funeral and take care of other matters.
We left at 3am to do the 67 miles.  There was many fishing craft to avoid the first hour and then no further  problem.  A good wind soon came up and we had nice sailing across channel and part way up Bali's north coast and then the wind slowly died.  We were soon motoring with about a half knot current against us until we rounded the Northern point and then a half knot with us.
We arrived at Lovina beach about 4:30 pm and immediately went ashore  to check out buses to the airport.  We found they run every morning at 9am at about 83,000 RP or about $9.00.  It is a 3 or 4 hour trip and then Dorothy had to wait around until midnight to catch her long flight to Toronto through Hong Kong and Detroit.
   We are anchored in 38 ft at 08 09.517   115 01.380 and is anchorage #66 in 101 book. Important approach WP is 08 08.754   115 .00.947  at this waypoint line up the dolphin statue with the tower just behind and above it. The dolphin statue is at top of the sand beach just above beach level and sits on a 12 foot post. If your going to error, error to your right as is more room.  There is a reef on each side though they are a fair ways apart. So you can come in in bad light with WP's.
Anchorage is a bit rolly, but not a big deal.  There is lots to do ashore with good dining out and grocery stores and anything else you need, except boat stuff.  The beach landing is good on a sloping sand beach with very minor surf.  No docks around.  A great spot.
