MILKY BELOW/CLEAR ABOVE

Near dawn and a small skiff sails close to the rocky shore of a tiny volcanic island. The stratified ash layers are tilted. A steep cliff is a fault escarpment created from part of the island that slid into the ocean. Black rock and grey pumice beaches are ominous and foreboding. In the distance the rugged landscape is continuously uplifted. The "seas", Sunda Strait, offshore from this part of the island are choppy and turbulent.
The lone mariner, Slamet Rahardjo, positions the sail to his tiny craft to capture the maximum amount of wind as he sails away from the island towards Pulau Krakatau. He is a native of Bandar Lampung City. Locals regard the four-island cluster as cursed. It is bad luck to venture near any of the four island set, but with nutrients added to these waters from the steady emergence from the abys of Anak, the fishing is too good to ignore.
