08/09/24 Sun.  Been a busy week, we've been over in the seaplane hangar for several days while Ana repaired Ray's three sails.  She is still busy making outboard engine covers, tiller covers and a few boats are waiting for her to start their jobs.

12/09/24 Thurs. Making jerry can covers and a new sprayhood for Graeme's boat.

 

 

 

15/09/24 Sun. Now on our fifth day and night of continuous rain.  Last night I had to run the engine for an hour as the batteries were going down and we've had no solar input lately.  We were up several times during the night because of strong winds (over 30 knots) and choppy seas in the bay.  One casualty was Tony and Tracey whose mooring chain snapped just after midnight and they drifted toward the mangroves before managing to anchor. The bad weather is forecast to continue for another week at least.

25/09/24 Weds. I lost track of the number of days and nights we had rain. We've just had a couple of relatively dry days but this morning we were woken by thunder and lightning and more rain!  We've started to make our new 'pac-a-main' sail cover but that had to go on hold today because of the rain. Two boats left yesterday morning, heading for Kudat.

29/09/24 Sun.  We went into town this morning, to the port gates to try and get on Doulos Hope, a former cruise ship which is now a floating library/bookstore but the formalities of getting aboard were more difficult than getting onboard a nuclear submarine!  We gave up after a while of scanning QR codes, registering, opening an account and various other jumps through hoops.  Caught a jeepney to Robinsons instead and mooched around there for an hour or two.
