We can’t believe how welcoming the local Indonesian people continue to be as we sail further west along the northern coastline of remote Pulau Seram. Our first anchorage was at the tiny village of Seliha where we were greeted like Hollywood celebrities.
Then it was on to the oldest Bajau Village in the Malaku Region at Sawai. The Bajau people were nomadic sea gypsies, originally from the Philippines. They built their wooden houses on stilts over the water to establish Sawai more than 400 years ago near the head of what resembles a long and very deep fiord lined by steep cliffs.
We were very keen to explore this natural wonder and experience the unique Bajau culture but were far from sure we would find anywhere to anchor as we could find no information about the depth of the water. Neither the charts or satellite imagery were much use and extensive internet searches for blogs etc of people who may have gone before us came up blank. In the end we decided if you never ever go, you’ll never ever know and pushed on for what was a very, very memorable stop for many reasons. Sawai is simply one of THE MOST STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL PLACES we have ever been. We hope you enjoy seeing it with us.
