Heading to Kota Kinabalu

16:00 today.
Some of you have noticed that Xena's done an about turn, previously on her way to Puerto Princesa, now on her way to Kota Kinabalu.  SMS from Grant:
Weather forecast model PredicWind is using is understating.  Since Balabac Strait, we had mid 20s gusting high 20s, and steep breaking sea.  This morning we have hight 20s gusting 30s and big breaking sea.  Last night motor which has been sick, max revs pos 1000, gave up completely.  Now too risky to continue to Princesa.  Have reluctantly decided to run with it.  Hopefully get needed parts in K.K.
Part needed appear to be: water hose for generator and main engine filter.  Also some more diesel.
