First Muslim naturist waterfall ;)

Not far from the "capital" Terampah, there is a very protected mangrove bay on the east side of the island of Siantan, where a waterfall is supposed to pour directly into the sea via various cascades.
Our provisions are increased with the modest possibilities here, so it does not stop us from visiting this bay.
Again, eyeball navigation and running in only with the correct position of the sun and the right light, because the nautical charts are just too inaccurate and reefs often not drawn.
We anchor in front of a fishing village with stilt houses with a clear view of the cascades of the waterfall.
Fantastic!
No wave moves Odin, what an anchorage.
Early in the morning we set off to climb as far as possible along the waterfall to visit as many cascades as possible.
The rainy season has not yet begun, but once the tropical rains with their water masses feed this waterfall, the picture is probably not as peaceful as it is at the moment.
What would attract tourists streams elsewhere is just nature here. No human soul meets us on the way up.
Forgotten bathing suits are no problem, we open the world's first naturist waterfall in the Muslim world. (That should be patented;)
We enjoy a few days in the bay, hear the sound of the water rushing from the mountain into the sea and are happy to be right here and not somewhere else.
However, man is seldom satisfied with his fate over a longer period of time and so after a few days, we are once again attracted by small islands and sandy beaches, meaning anchorage and exploration of new islands here in the archipelago.
Swim, dive, snorkel and ... collect shells ... at least Frel can spend hours on it.
My job is, if she does not notice, to dispose of the things overboard again, before Odin one day falls because of overload! ;)
