02.08.125 N 111.31.547 E

We are anchored off the town of Sarikei a full days sail up the river Rajang. It has been a wonderful trip. We went into town this afternoon and bought some food at the market. People here don't often see white faces and are very friendly. Tomorrow we have another full day on the river. It get more shallow and therefore more tricky, so we'll see.

Then out to see again and a two day's sail to Miri.
