We arrived in Sorong on Soko, our Moody 46, in June 2019, but with some trepidation having read the reports of boat theft, difficult CIQ etc.. After anchoring off Doom, we completed CIQ under the new regulations in a few hours, and were highly impressed by the efficiency, professionalism and friendliness of all departments. No question of any restrictions or kickbacks. One of the easiest to date. We are now street legal for 3 years of cruising this fascinating archipelago.
We then headed 40 minutes upstream, following Captain Dahlan, to Helena Marina. Owner Wick Allison met us and immediately took care of our every need. This included haul out, antifouling, changing cutlass bearing, canvas and teak repairs. Most importantly one of his staff is an expert on ships systems and electronics. We upgraded from Raytheon Seatalk to STNG, replaced all the batteries to Lead Carbon, fitted Solar Panels, sorted the spaghetti of long redundant wiring etc.etc..
We then spent several weeks exploring the wonders of Raja Ampat.
I cannot speak more highly of the cruising paradise, the people we have met and Helena Marina in particular.
