As dawn broke, we sailed through the channel leading into Kota Kinabalu. Made our way to Sutera Harbour Marina. http://www.suteraharbour.com/marina.php Very nice marina - very clean, in fact the water looks like an aquarium - many tropical fish. This harbour will only allow boats in that have black water tanks for toilet waste. Shame more don't demand them - even the marinas that are tidal and get washed through daily can't flush out all the rubbish. The facilities here are very good - staff are attentive and very well trained, nothing is too much trouble.
We're hoping that we can have a break from cooking and washing up whilst we're here.
My question to Jon - "Can I presume rene and I are off the hook as far as the cooking is concerned whilst we're in the marina" did not meet with a 'yes' so to cut a long story short, we'll be leaving. We've learned a lot from Drew who has been so generous with his knowledge, but it's just not a lot of fun too much of the time. We're too old to be walking around on eggshells wondering what sort of mood Jon's in today. It turns out that we are not the first (or second) crew to jump ship. Says it all.
Now that the decision is made we are relieved and looking forward to spending a couple of weeks exploring locally and then return early.
Had a big clear out of our clothes and stuff - filled a bin bag! Our bags don't appear to be that mush lighter though!
Tomorrow we'll go with Jon to sort out the immigration/passport stuff and then we're off!!
