Our Engine Is Coming… But So Is a Storm

We were all set to haul out the boat and start the big job of replacing our old engine. The crew was ready, the boat was packed — but then the weather turned. With storms rolling in and shipping delays still dragging on, we made the call to hold off. And instead of rushing straight into boatyard life, we took a rare chance to slow down. This episode follows our unexpected detour to the northern tip of Borneo — a wild, remote corner where the Sulu Sea meets the South China Sea. Long beaches, warm surf, and a brief pause before the real work begins. We also share some of the behind-the-scenes realities of importing a marine engine into Malaysia — a useful glimpse into the world of yacht logistics that might help you if you’re navigating similar waters. ⛵️ Thanks for watching — don't forget to subscribe if you're new here! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #SailingFamily #BoatRefit #StormDelay
