BLACK DUCK'S ROUTE

Click on the Anchorages and Routes to see Lat/long, distances, Hours underway, sailing/motoring, diesel use, weather conditions and dates. This map should not be navigated by as the routes are only estimates. See Black Duck Anchorages above for more detailed anchorage information.
(I have added the internet towers we came by in Raja Ampat as this is very useful for weather forecasting.)

In these guides I try to write up a summery of everything we found useful to know when we visited the cities for visa extensions and restocking.
It includes where to get diesel, gas, drinking water, fresh food and our process of visa extensions at the Immigration Office. 
It also has locations of hardware stores and other shops we found useful for getting parts and so forth.
