APART from following our passion of being on the water, sailing and organising environmental clean-up campaigns, we also love to travel within the country and the region. Over the last few years we have travelled to a number of exotic and interesting places and I would like to share these wonderful experiences with you. The first one I will write about is our most recent journey to Pulau Weh, Sumatra.
Just a few weeks ago we attended the inaugural ‘Sabang International Regatta 2011’, the first ever international regatta to Sumatra, Indonesia jointly organised by Indonesia’s Culture and Tourism Ministry together with the Aceh government, the Sabang local government and the Indonesian Sailing Federation. The goal of this event was to promote Pulau Weh and the Aceh province as a tourist destination to the international world.
