Sunday morning we sailed through the Karimunjawa Archipelago, part of Indonesia, consisting of 27 beautifully green tropical islands with white sand beaches just off Java’s northern coast. We anchored off Menyawaken Island and tendered ashore. The island, only about 10 acres large, has a laid-back ambience and is home solely to the luxurious and very private Kura Kura Beach Resort.The resort villas are undergoing renovations, and thus there were no guests staying there.
However, the ship was able to arrange for our private use of the island and its facilities for the day. All 120 passengers took advantage of this opportunity to relax on the beach in the shade of coconut trees, swim in the lagoon, and enjoy the refreshing pool. 
The ship’s staff prepared an incredible barbeque for us ashore with no detail overlooked. The amount of effort to transport not only the food and beverages, but the dishes, glassware, utensils, etc., was quite impressive. It was a very enjoyable day.
Back at sea today, we arrive in Singapore for a two-day stay tomorrow morning.
J and J, Well I'm here in Westhampton to celebrate Bill Nolan's 70th, and you all are in the beautiful Pacific.
