It is now 7:00 AM Sunday morning the 12th. As soon as we get the boat ready, about two hours, we will leave the anchorage in the river and head out to and up the coast to Miri. This will be about a 48 hour passage depending on the current so we should arrive there mid morning on Tuesday. Since we won’t be too far off the coast it is possible we will retain a cell signal and be able to maintain internet access but because of the remoteness of some areas there might not be towers all along the coast.
We have enjoyed Santubong and yesterday we attended the rainforest music festival but when the music started at 7:00 PM, we decided a good night’s sleep was more important. There were thousands of people from all over the world there though and it was a major event for some I’m sure. There were handmade crafts everywhere you looked.
Ruth had her camera so she will write up her thoughts after we have settled into the dock at Miri.
