"Spooky"
Another night trip . Kudat to Kota Kinabalu , 90 miles
in 17 hours . A lot of star gazing , a lot of loud
music and a bit of dancing to stay awake . I didn't
have any close encounters with fishermen this time .
Last week in the philippines i was awaken from my 20
minutes nap by screaming fishermen paddling for their
life to get away from me ! On small wooden boats , no
engine , no lights and 15 miles offshore !!!!
I'm now at the dock in the very posh Sutera Harbour
here in Kota Kinabalu . And after being anchored in
remote places for a few months , it feels strange to be
in a marina . I'm not sure i like it and i'm eager to
get back on the water . But i had to come here , I went
to the Indonesian consulate and got my visa today . A
bit of shopping , some minor work on the boat , 2000
liters of diesel and i'll be ready for the next part of
the trip . My Friend Stefan is joining me in ten days ,
flying from Switzerland for a month onboard . I'll have
to share the most precious room in the boat : the head
!!!
See you soon
