Gili Air Last stop before Bali.

After 2 nights at Medana beach we moved the 5 miles over to Gili Air a small island just off  the NW coast of Lombok.  This is anchorage #59 in 101 book . We used same approach WP supplied by Dedalus that worked nicely. (see below)  Two yachts hit the reef while leaving yesterday but managed to get off without serious damage.  Entering is no problem in good light.
This is a small island you can walk completely around in an hour and has a number of small tourist resort thatch roof type guest rooms.  There is lots of small ferrys coming to and fro bringing tourists out to island.  After 4pm all is quiet.  Lots of small restaurants to choose from to eat out cheap.  There is even a descent store here to get a few things.
Our first night here Quantum Leap and had everyone in anchorage over to his huge beautiful catamaran for sundowners.
We are on a mooring ball here at 08 21.925   116 04.964 in 60 ft.  The approach wp we used  from Medana marina to Gili Air are. 1. 08 19.002  116 05.913   2. 08 20.158  116 05.831    3.  08 21.070   116 05.452   4. 21.920   116 05.379    5.  08 22.383   116 05.126   entering bay 08 22.277  116 05 021
