Not too much of a problem coming in in the dark, though fishing boats are either lit with a dazzling array of white lights, or with flashing green or red or white or nothing at all. Luckily they mainly come and go at dawn and dusk. Lots of fish farms to avoid though we had waypoints and info from a boat that had come in during the day.

Pegasus in Indonesia
We finally got the anchor down at 2am (Wed), and are now waiting for customs and immigration to come on board. They are with the boats next to us so hopefully we will be next. When they have cleared us we have to go ashore for immigration,quarantine, and port clearance. Lots and lots of form filling and paper work - our cruising permits issued before we left had stamps from 4 different people. We may, or may not, be given a 'ratting certificate' That would be something to hang on the wall!
