We left the comfort of Sutera Harbour marina on the 16th August after a pleasant quiet birthday on the 15th.
Sea Topaz looks good again, after a lot of elbow grease. We stopped one night in a quiet bay, then left from there at 01.00 in the morning for a long day's sail around the top of Borneo. We arrived in a beautiful, quiet bay surrounded by mangroves on Malawali Island. We had the bay all to ourselves and enjoyed a fantastic sunset.
From there we had a full day motor sailing across a flat sea. We arrived last night at Lakayan Island; paradise island: white sand, blue water, reefs and a resort.So we'll do some snorkeling and exploring today. from here we go to Sandakan.
