Hi guys, never done a trip to G-land so need some advice.

I just got a call this morning asking me to fly out to Chrismas Island this weekend to sail (delivery) a boat from there to East Indonesia. I can't get out there to X-mas island until Tuesday at the earliest...but weather window pending, they may have to disembark earlier. If I miss out on getting on the yacht at Xmas island I'm thinking of flying into Bali and getting a boat to G-land to meet the skipper/yacht there.

So...anyone know what's involved getting a fast boat to G-land? Do they leave daily? Will they only go if they have a minimum number of passengers? Where do they actually leave from?

I am google searching but wanted to grab some advice because I know a bunch of you have been there done that. I've never bothered with Indo west of Bali so out of my experience.

Email joyos!! they stop running the fast boats already out of season.. even then its every 3rd day! but ive heard off friends that they will do one off trips... I Dunno the cost of this as there were always a few people going!! You can find joyos on facebook also if your on that... send them a message either way and find out!! You could also email bobbys as they also run fast boats!

Thanks mate. I've contacted joyos and they can't help. So I gotta keep trying ;)
Would much rather just get on at Xmas island but we'll see what happens.

You could ask Slim of baliwaves.com he might be able to help. I'll PM you his mobile & you can SMS him.
