In February 2005, after three months of preparation in Kota Kinabalu in Northern Borneo, Senta set sail to cross the Balabac Straits and explore parts of the Philippines.
In the blustery North east seasonal wind Senta fought her way up the east coast of Palawan Island, sailing in day light through waters too dangerous to negotiate by night Each tough day of sailing was followed by an anxious late afternoon searching for a protected anchorage on a lee shore. At the northern tip of Palawan Faith and Pierre decided to sail round the top and back down the west coast to Kota Kinabalu.
The four month circumnavigation of Palawan took them to beautiful places where the met interesting people. Not so pleasant was sheltering from a passing typhoon.
After a break to visit family and friends in South Africa and Germany Senta and her crew prepared to sail to Pulau in the South Pacific. This plan was thwarted by bad weather and tired crew and replaced by visits to more islands in the southern Philippines.

Colour photographs and charts help tell the story.
