Another night

Last night we've been sailing all night. Around eight we arrived at the 25 mile zone from Bombay. We had to wait here until our paperwork was sorted out. It's a little confusing, this paper-work story. In the maritime world there are certain rules concerning clearing in and out off ports.

Our last port was Bombay. Then we sailed to Alang. The port authorities didn't want to clear us in, but they took our paperwork. Now they told us that we need to get our paperwork back but we can not enter without being cleared in, which they will not do. We need these papers to enter Bombay harbour. So as we were not allowed back to Alang we had to leave without them and our landteam is making sure they get the paperwork done. But now they keep us at a distance. It feels like they're playing with us. So, we have to wait at the 25 mile zone before entering Bombay. We'll have to wait and see what will happen. Another night at anchor. That's for sure!
