Question Volcano activity

[crabapple58]

Mt. Lewotobi on Flores, Indonesia (Komodo) erupted 3x in less than 1 month. twice today (7/7/2025) continue with LOB plan in a few weeks or postpone ? … unsure what to do… 30 hours of travel without any disruptions in optimal conditions.

A few weeks is a long time, most of the volcano disruptions only last a few days.

I would go.

Sadly volcano eruptions are a frequent occurrence in Indonesia. Certainly no guarantee that this trip will go well , but if you delay because of this series of eruptions you may very well run into new eruptions from this or some other volcano at some later trip date.

While I recognize many people are up against vacation leave limitations (only so many days off from work) , potential travel delays are the reason it is best to build some land-based days ahead of liveaboards if at all possible

And let me think...LOB...Indonesia...worth it, let's go.

So I jumped on the booking with liveaboard.com when there was a holiday special without hesitation. On hind sight now, I wished I had dug deeper into how Aggressor handles problems with several "eyebrow raising" reports online.

At the moment (3/13), we are "stuck" on board Indo Aggresor in Labuan Bajo harbor as the Harbor Master had shut down the harbor since 3/9 from 3/11 til 3/16 due to weather, while the boat Indo Aggressor were scheduled to disembark on...
