Miri, "the Borneo Yachting Challenge" Malaysia, Oct 2009

In  October we were lucky enough to go on the start boat for the Borneo International Yachting Challenge.
This is an annual race from Miri to Kota Kinabalau with an incentive to encourage entrants. Each boat completing the Race would receive 1000RM cash, in addition to 5 days free stay in the Marinas in Miri and KK plus 2 nights stay in 5 Star International Hotels in Miri and KK as well as a few dinner celebrations thrown in.The Race aims to promote yachting in the Sabah and Sarawak area.
Fran has written an extensive article on this event. Look for it in "Tall and Not so Tall Tales" on the sidebar.
