April's cruising costs for Philippines and Malaysia

Wow, we're really into Asia now! Despite the fact that we hauled out, April was still a cheaper than our monthly average! Overall we spent NZ$ 1314, but excluding the haul-out costs it's only NZ$ 527! It's probably mostly because we spent 2/3 of the month day passaging along the west coast of Palawan, Philippines where there aren't many possibilities to spend money. But, so far Malaysia is also very cheap, and the food is even better.

We are still in Kudat, it turned out the rattling of the shaft was worse than we initially thought and Phil has been working on a solution with some help from a couple other cruisers here in the marina, luckily enough one is a mechanic!
