Something to add
...regarding safe travel in this area:
I just talked to an Australian guy, who runs a business here, and he was very helpful and informative.
He called his friend, who runs boat-tours to the neighboring islands, and learnt that they are now stuck with a group of tourists in Lombok, because in between there are storm winds and 40ft waves!
The Aussie guy was clear to point out, that it would actually be very dangerous for us to travel further east from Bali, before the winds will calm down. This is because not all of the local ferries will stay in the harbour, even if they should. Combined with their lack of seaworthiness to begin with, them going out in this weather is the main reason there are so many sinkings here each year.
So, think twice before going into the boats here, when the seas are rough.
