Ready to Rock and Roll... Again

The inverter has been installed and everything is working well aboard Tweed. Fresh provisions have been stowed, Customs and Immigration procedures finalised and the marina paid up so we will untie our docklines tomorrow morning, 11 February, and depart for Palawan Island in the Philippines. We have not decided yet whether to stopover in one anchorage further north and then do an overnight passage to Palawan or whether to just take it easy day by day. We still have well over five months before we want to be back in Kota Kinabalu so maybe the second option. Time will tell.

Here is a chart showing Sabah on the northern section of the island of Borneo with the island of Palawan extending northeast of the tip. More parts of the Philippines can be seen as well. So now you have an idea of where we will be going.
