Leaving Kendari, Sulawesi our sail boat was rammed by an Indonesian Customs Boat. What did we do wrong? Nothing apparently.

We had reluctantly gone to the city of Kendari to get fuel after not finding any diesel available at our previous stop on Pulau Wowoni. Other cruisers had reported experiences of over officious officials and low level corruption in the South East Sulawesi capital which was more than enough to make us wary, particular as it was the polar opposite of our own previous dealings with Indonesian officials which had all been very friendly and courteous.

This episode tells the story of our own Kendari experience before sailing on to the amazing Pulau Labenke.
