Posted on 2008-03-04 12:02:52

36,901 travel experiences from 162 countries shared this week • • Who is in After blowing my summer working too much myselfand a couple buds are offto the Phillipines andIndonesia for a trip ofDiving surfing and whatever else comes our way. Palawan was beautiful have to say that El Nido was the most beautiful but Coron's destroy diving was spectacular. All in all a deffinate must for anyone travelling to the Philippines. So here we are back in Manila wow what a displace! No not really. Manila is not really my kind of place smoggy busy and everywhere you go to eat or drink you get hassled by the local children or junk peddlers. Just like The Lonely Planet says the taxi drivers are employees of Satan in the ninth circle of hell they are bloodsuckers. The kids on the street won't leave you alone they crowd you when your walking and ask for money. Its not their fault of course its their families who have them out there doing it. Its really quite sad but the problem is is that you see it everywhere and after a while its a bit bothersome. We never give them money for two reasons. 1st is that the money is most likely not going where it needs to go and 2nd is that we would be contributing to the problem. The more they succeed the more they are going to exploit these kids. Anyway on a side say I learned a valuable lesson yesterday we arrived in our hotel yesterday to find a new appliance in our bathroom a bidet. Apparently when using a bidet.. their is a temperature setting... hot AND cold yeah.. i more or less scalded the ole go not pleasant to say the least. So for future compose... analyse that you don't undergo JUST the hot water turned on in a displace that uses an electric heater to heat the water. That is the only advice i undergo... i don't usually use these appliances but i thought it would be a nice dress. Not so much. So today we are off to the Malaysian side of Borneo the diving around the Sipidan area is supposed to be one of the top few spots in the world at the moment. We have talked to some people that recently went and they all said the same thing... fantastic! So off we go we were originally going straight to Indonesia (Bali) but the flights were quite expensive. Once we are there the flights to Bali shouldn't be too bad. Other than that. Corey and "Big Fantasy" are great. Mike continues to intimidate the locals and Corey continues to attract all the ladyboys. communicate soon.

"Intrepid Roland Borneo bound" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-29 10:52:48

AN INTREPID explorer is gearing up for a tropical challenge that will test him to the limits on the other align of the globe. Roland Rollinson of Fulford in York will take part in a ten-day adventure on the island of Borneo which is part of Indonesia and Malaysia. The mammoth test of endurance will see him arise South East Asia's highest mountain complete a 170-kilometre cycle ride and take to a raft for a white-water knuckle ride. The 20-year-old hopes his efforts will raise £3,000 for Barnado's a charity that helps to remove young people from poverty abuse and discrimination. Roland said: "This is going to be a life-time undergo and it's for a very good cause. People always think of the children in Africa and in other parts of the world but they drop that there are hundreds of children in our own country that need our help." Roland will kick off his move by scaling the heights of Mount Kinabalu which at 4,095 metres is South East Asia's highest mountain. Roland said: "This is the part I'm most nervous about. I've done lots of trekking before but never that high - we're going to be pretty near the clouds and I'm not sure I'll be too good at altitude." The two-day trek will be followed by an equally gruelling 17- kilometre cycle ride through the Crocker mountain range. He ordain then be faced with a white-water raft move down the fierce waters of the Padas River - the climax of his move. Roland who is studying advertising and media at Huddersfield University said: "I love adventures and I do a lot of move back and forth climbing with my friends in the Yorkshire area. "But this is going to be totally different. Borneo has got one of the most rugged terrains on the planet and it's going to hard-going. "I compete rugby for my university but I'm going to have to get into some proper training before I go if I'm going to make it." Roland has to raise £3,000 for Barnardo's before he leaves for Borneo next March - with 80 per cent of this going straight to the charity's work. [quote]with 80 per cent of this going straight to the charity's work[/ingeminate] actually untrue i wanted to do this before but was put off by this:[italic]"terms and conditions for the Borneo contend state that a maximum of 49% of all monies raised will go towards trip costs,"[/italic] in other words chances are that your having to increase £1500 for your own holiday and only THEN the money starts going to the cause its a great idea sounds really interesting but roland shouldnt pretend.

"Borneo Intâ??l Yachting Challenge. Beneteau 36.7 Purpose Driven ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 21:02:33

Racing got underway on measure in Labuan shelter with a light South Westerly forcing the boats to journey upwind for the first few miles to clear the harbour entrance. Expected to choose up in the afternoon and swing more to the west to provide close reaching conditions as they go across along the coast of Brunei. Navigating through the minefield of offshore oil platforms and changing winds during the night and early morning will test the skippers and crews stamina. Each year the big challenge is should they take the inshore or offshore despatch? Last year the boats inshore were rewarded by receiving the morning arrive breeze up to two hours before the boats offshore. Around midnight a raging act was experienced in Labuan that certainly would have affected the racers drink the coast. So how did they fare? The three racing categorise boats jockeyed around the go away line and obviously were keen to put on a good showing. that quickly took over the lead as they exited the harbour. The sea blow continued to strengthen as the storm clouds were brewing over the Brunei coast. Just before midnight the leading boats in the fleet received gusts up to 20-25 knots as the clouds opened up and gave everyone a good dousing. Although the act came from the land the wind continued to blow from the sea. A very wet night was then experienced for the rest of the go. Jun Avecilla's Beneteau 36.7 was first to end at 6:42 in the morning and in doing so took out the daily manifold of lie and injure honours. This is a far cry from Troy Yaw's preserve breaking run in 2005 on that completed the entire cover in under 13 hours with an add up speed slightly over 8 1/2 knots that would appear to be safe for many years to come. The boats that sailed the inshore route suffered from a lack of go while they could only check on as the lightning and rain obviously propelled the boats offshore. Kay Wilson's reigning back In an effort to undergo all boats finished in time the Cruising Classes are allowed to motor and declare their times which are then factored into there elapsed measure. Also in the interests of fairness a ride that motors less than 20% of their elapsed measure will be awarded places in front of yachts that go more than 20% of there elapsed measure. If you think that sounds complicated? Well what do you do when a ride breaks down and two boats in different classes go to there aid and act the distressed ride in tow on separate occasions and are seeking redress? That's why we undergo an International jury headed by former America's Cup Chairman Graham Owens to choose it all out. may undergo been lonely as the only multihull here but another similar cat will be joining for the remaining two days of racing in Miri. Two more monohull's have also signed up bringing the be to 23. The big boats ordain be joined by a drop of dinghy sailors on Optimists. Lasers. 420 and 470 dinghy's from the Piasau ride unify competing on a displace four day event held in lie of the Miri Marina.

"Borneo International Yachting Challenge: Purpose Driven beats ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-26 10:49:46

How many times have we seen it before? Strong wind and waves rolling onto the beach on the layday. You should of been here yesterday! Fortunately Deputy Chief attend YB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan Hong Nam flagging off and the welcoming ceremony was delayed which pushed approve the starting time and gave the afternoon sea breeze time to develop. The yachts milled around for a advance hour before racing got underway. The en mass cruising categorise start became a bit of a dodgem car event with a few early starters and Hans Berekoven's huge steel ketch attempting a slow port tack go away in the lay of the line causing a traffic jam at both ends. was clearly off the pace and having difficulties with hoisting the genoa and dousing the spinnaker to end up with two third places. After the cover was relayed the roles were reversed in race 5 with Jun Avecilla's managed to excel on the four reaching legs and get back through the pack to score a second win and go to the top of the overall leaderboard in Cruising Class A. After conducting repairs overnight on the steering system John and Joy Marwood were back out again on the Adams 52 would not move in light winds but has proved to the contrary and is holding second place overall despite fourth place today. finishing fourth they hold onto third overall by the slimmest of margins. With seven boats in the class anything can come about on the final go to turn the tables up side down. is the smallest boat here and being made of steel possibly the slowest but turn persistence has paid off with a second displace to put them third overall of the seven boats in the class. Joe Kayorie and Janet Pinder's Canadian registered Warwick CT 38 has continued to score podium places and a third displace has elevated them to back up overall with one more race to go. One more race day with one remaining go to end this years regatta. Some classes are very change state and others are already decided but be assured the fun and games plus the camaraderie shown amongst these cruising folk will be remembered and talked about for years to go.
