Just throwing it out here if anyone has any good sailing contacts near Banyaks

My mate has had to basically abandon his catamaran in a Sumatran river near the Banyaks to medivac his wife to Medan. She's in a bad way currently.
He paid a guy to keep an eye on it but ..... yea. And it's not even moored properly and he had to bail with what they could carry.

Putting it out there to anyone who might be able to either go babysit it or even experience enough relocate it to a proper port.

Message me with any contacts

Terrible situation.
Maybe you could get in contact with a charter operator and see if they can put you in touch with someone in the area who can assist.
Hope things turn out alright for them.

Yeah contacting the surf camps or charter boats in the area would be the go.

Theres been a few cases of bad malaria in the Banyaks lately . A friend up there said one of the camps in the area ( A tents on the beach type camp ) had a real bad case a couple of weeks ago .

Try the Brazilian owners of the boat Seriti at SurfBanyaks.com

Try the French land camp at the Bay of Plenty Lefts side of the bay.
