Heavy Rain.
Arrived Victoria Harbour Labuan - midnight last night. [5 deg 16.12N, 115 deg 14.32E]
Water Calm and Flat.
Anchored outside Marina Hotel..he [Grant] was looking over to Hotel where we stayed both times for Borneo Yacht Regatta.
PF: that's the Marina Hotel in the photo above -- pretty flash, Iris!
Click on "Read more" for rest of Iris' report....
The Boyz cooking sausages and eggs for Breakfast. I was relieved anchored safely..I asked after logs which we always encountered..Grant said after Kuching went 30 miles off the Coast to avoid..good choice..no logs.
Plan is:
Try to sort parts for Motor and Generator.
Repair Both.
Re-provision and re-fuel before heading off en-route to Phillipines.
He will phone you [Roger] to explain:
(5 inch Hose from Manifold Engine passes into a large fibre-glass Sump before being forced up through that Sump into the Exhaust Pipe and out of the Boat).
This Sump top broke off..looks like poor cementing job originally.
Huge Ship Repair Industry in Labuan..so best opportunities of getting parts they need..rather than Kotakinabalu.

[Iris]: Out the door again - back for evening ceremony at Waitangi Treaty Celebrations.
Cheers for now Iris
Cheers to Grant, Noel, Mike: have a good rest guys, you need it!
ReplyDeleteRe the exhaust sump issue, I rang Roger yesterday and he's awaiting call direct from Grant to discuss fix.
Meantime, seems like there's good local boat repair industry, so cross fingers can be sorted there.
Cheers,
Peter
From Roger, SMS: (emailed to Iris/Grant):
