A couple sails from the Anambas Islands to Borneo, a passage taking approximately two and a half days.0:36 The crew experiences favorable conditions for the first two days before the wind dies, requiring them to motor the final stretch to the village of Lundu.7:51 Upon arrival, they anchor outside the Sarawak River and time their transit to the Kuching Marina with the tides to ensure favorable currents.10:08 The marina offers tight maneuvering space, necessitating careful navigation.11:51 Once docked in Kuching, the crew visits the Semenggoh Nature Reserve to observe semi-wild orangutans, noting that sightings are less frequent during the local fruit season.19:22 They also explore the Fairy Caves, a large limestone formation near Bau, and tour the five-level Borneo Cultures Museum.26:19 Practical tasks in Kuching include sourcing diesel, gas, and using local laundromats for bedding and towels, which the crew finds more efficient than using their boat’s cold-water-only washing machine.32:13
