The cruising boats in west Sumatra are having a pretty difficult time with the cv19 lockdown. Many have been denied entry or asked to leave from anchorarges near villages. Not a good time to be taking on crew.

Hi Paul, have been watching yachts sail past for a week now, two pulled in few days ago, 1 stayed a night the other left today i can imagine many are in limbo right now.

Yep, with most not having access to any nearby country, as they are locked down too.

All the yachts ive seen 10+ have been heading south, probably trying to find some nice quiet isolated waves to hide out at for a while and avoid detection, as like you say they would be getting moved on if anchoring near any villages, i was suprised one was allowed to stay 2 nights in lagundri, ive heard from Locals many are in Teluk Dalam at the moment
