[status]We are slowly sailing past the volcano, which is currently erupting. We decided to check online for any warning before anchoring at the base of the volcano for a close up experience and diving. Unfortunately, it is a tad bit too active for us, rated yesterday a 4/5 on volcanic activity....with warnings not to be closer than 1km to the crater....so...we are being prudent, dont' want a ton of ash on the boat or sails...and are going to sail off to Sumatra. I am very bummed as I really wanted to dive the new reefs around the edge of the volcano. We dove the reefs in Banda Island and they were really amazing....UGH!!!
