That morning, the tap water in Menami's bathroom did not flow. Apparently, Menami had to increase the supply of clean water for the survival of the ship's occupants for the next week.

Finally, in the evening, we docked at Molawe Port, North Konawe Regency and bought 10 tons of clean water. Thanks to the help of Pak Anung (DKP Southeast Sulawesi Province) who has a wide network, we can buy clean water easily.

Apparently, the port of North Konawe Regency is quite large. A spacious port with a lot of lights, it looks like a new port. When we docked at the port, all the people around the port immediately gathered to see Menami while paying attention to the contents.

In addition to our faces being the sight of the night, all the hanging clothes were also the sight of the people. Some of Menami's residents also approached the balcony to see the activities of the people who were curious about our activities. Suddenly, a teenage girl who was sitting on the edge of the harbor called out to me. "Where did this ship come from?" she asked.

When I answered Kendari, she immediately told her friend the information. The next question was, "Whose ship is this?" I answered, the ship from the office. His face was amazed to hear that answer.

Without taking long, some of the people on the boat were already on land looking for a new atmosphere. Funnily enough, the people who got off the Menami were barefoot, including me. Our intention was to go ashore to find stability after three days on the boat non-stop. As it turned out, when we got ashore, we still felt shaky and swayed like on the ship. When I looked left and right, I met Mr. Anung, who is also a resident of Menami.

That night, Mr. Anung was busy coordinating the purchase of water. Not long after, a pick-up truck arrived with a large water tank behind it. Well, that's the car that will fill clean water in Menami, the tank that I thought had a large capacity turned out to only contain 1 ton. So that means the car had to come back 9 times!

And the prediction was right, the pick-up that had to take back clean water suddenly accelerated like in the movie Fast & Furious in order to catch up with time. After a few back and forths, those of us in Menami's meeting room laughed to see the pick up become a racer in no time.

Even though it had been several hours at the port to fill up with water, there were still people sitting around looking at Menami and its contents. There was a motorcycle that had just arrived with a girl wearing a nightgown just to watch the ship come in. Indeed, we had the opportunity to be artists for one night.
