The Caribbean of the east | Discover Sabah, Borneo Ep 207

Is this SE Asia’s answer to the Caribbean? Dinawan, a small island just 10km south of Kota Kinabalu has everything you need from a tropical island: coral sand beach, blue lagoon, wooden stilted houses, gentle lapping water.

We took a breather here before our next adventure and lived like holiday makers for a few nights.

Then we headed back to Gaya, where we found some wind and managed a small sail. On the way, Liz found her fishing mojo and landed a nice skipjack tuna for dinner.

This is what we’ve been missing for the past few months.

Peace, fair winds!

Liz and Jamie
