A quick update!
Its been way to long since I have wrote on this blog. So many miles, so many great experiences over the past few months.
All going back to late November with my friends at North Cape Yacht Club where about 200+ people git together on a clod November night over the Thanksgiving weekend to reunite and raise some money for the NCYC Sailing school. Words can not explain what an incredible night it was for me personally to be back where I learned to sail and grew up.
We spent Christmas and New Years Eve crusing the Langkawi and South Thailand area. This was my second Thai New Years, the magic of the thousands of rice paper sky lanterns floating through the air highlighting the warm nights wind currents is a sight that sticks fondly in your mind.
I took a week and explored the temples of Cambodia, then back to the boat and on to the Philippines.
We just finished a great cruise in the Palawan area. Probally one of the nicest cruising areas I have been too. A combination of the limestone casts of Raja Ampat and the beautiful Anchorages and Diving of Komodo. Spectacular... I look forward to returning some day soon.
For now we are taking advantage of some down time in Kota Kinabalu Borneo. A time to get completely organized for our next 5 months out away from any marina "luxuries" like power. water and the security of being tied to a dock. Out there were we have to be completely self reliant...
