The way to the top went well this morning. A nice 15-20 knots off the land and low swell made for a comfortable sail to the tip of Borneo. Once we reached it though conditions changed - the current was across our course and the wind was a bit stronger. The swell was about the same. Consequently to try and make our mark at the SE corner of Balambang Island we would have to put in a few tacks. This didn't work very well as the current was doing its best to push us 20-30 degrees off. So after some effort we decided to start the engine and motor sail just off the wind. This worked well and we made our way into Teluk Lung (Lung Bay) on Balambang Island just before 3.30 p.m, 07 deg 16.427 N, 117 deg 00.442 E. The bay has a few reefs and bommies inside so arriving earlier meant we had a better chance to see them in the intermittent sunshine.
