Late report. Been busy avoiding Brunei Oil
rigs - right now we have over 20 rigs and production platforms within 10
miles. Glad it is daylight - mind you they give big retunrs on the
radar. ETA is currently for Sebana Cove, on the Malaysian coast, just
across from Changi Airport in SIngapore. We may revise the destination,
but we have no desire to transit SIngapore harbour in the dark. If necessary we
will overnight in Sebana and then head for Puteri Harbour on Monday or
Tuesday.
Generator is working OK, failed last night when it
overheated as a result of the plastic bag. Took an hour or 2 to work out
what had happened. Also found the charging circuit of the main engine
alternator was not charging correctly - that was corroded terminals which are
now shiny clean!!!
