Ever handled wild bees? - Discover Sabah, Borneo Ep 210

Описание: We learn about the birds and bees in Borneo and where to put the lines when we remember how to Med moor for the first time in 10 years.

After too many cocktails the night before in the best beach bar in Sabah at ‘Secret Place’, it was an early start to sail round the tip of Borneo and hook up with the rest of the Sail Malaysia rally boats in Kudat. A whistle-stop tour through that beautiful part of the island took in some amazing sights including local community artisans, a traditional Rungus long house, wild honey production, the secrets behind birds nest soup, lunch at a stunning home stay with the owner and a sunset where the seas meet at the tip of Borneo.

Then it was time to start the rally proper and work out how to untie those lines from the Med mooring anchorage...

Peace and fair winds!
Liz and Jamie
