Sandakan

Before leaving our last anchorage in Karakit, Mark on Field Trip 
got a great shot of all the boats with his drone ( I need one ! )
The arrow points at Illimite'


We had a stop at "Turtle Island".  They have up to  50 turtles a 
night laying eggs.  We got to help release some hatchlings into the sea 
at night so no photos except another great drone shot by Mark of the island
(Did I mention I need one of those)


But I was able to get a good photo of some of Noelle's
 awesome breadfruit fried in coconut oil 


While in Sandakan we went to a Sun Bear Sanctuary.
The sun bear is a small endangered bear endemic to Borneo


and at the Sanctuary we happened upon a cute little deadly 
Borneal Keeled Pit Viper.  It is not endangered.  Just whomever it meets!


Then got to visit a POW camp where the Japanese starved, worked, shot and 
beat to death every prisoner except for 6 that escaped of the several thousand imprisoned 
A nice uplifting ending for the day
