Lahad Datu

On our last day up the Kinabatangan River we went for a walk behind the
restaurant where we were having lunch and got to watch a mother orangutan and her
 child pass by in  the trees, pretty awesome!
Having endangered species over for lunch



After having a great time up the Kinabatangan River, 
(which I would highly recommend to someone looking for a vacation at one of their resorts) 
we rode the current down to near the mouth of the river where we had a quiet anchorage
Our friends on Mai Tai took this great shot for us!

We then set off toward Lahad Datu, our next place to resupply
Our ESSCOM escort still with us keeping everyone safe


On the way I had to spend over two hours replacing an electric motor
 on the water maker, fortunately it wasn't rough and we had another quiet anchorage 
in a narrow straight with a nice drone shot of the fleet by Mark on Field Trip


Below is another drone shot.  In the center is a fishing wharf we took the dinghy to 
and then walked through the fish market (trying not to slip and fall on the slimy floor)
to the produce market at the right of the picture.  Had some great produce 
even though Noelle almost got run over by the biggest rat I've ever seen!


While in Lahad Datu they had a gala dinner for us
( I guess they were surprised we all survived this long)
