Mobile Communications – an update:
A new competitor, Progresif offers unlimited plans and cheaper rates (although 4x price than in Malaysia) but the speed was very low at Kota Batu RBYC so the unlimited did not really justify the 25Bn/week visitors plan and the 1Gb/week visitor plan lasted less than 1 day using smart phone to navigate in town! Coverage might be not as extensive as the original provider company. So perhaps best is to just use the wifi at the RBYC included in the 5B$ daily temporary cruiser membership including use of facilities, dock, washing machine!
The new bridge at Sg Kabun, just before Bandar Seri Begawan, has a clearance height of approx 16m in the centre at high water.
Following incidents of yachts anchoring mid-stream and without anchor lights in the Bandar Seri Begawan town area , the Marine Department no longer permits yachts to anchor upstream of the RBYC Kota Batu premises.
When anchoring at RBYC (Kota Batu) be sure to stay to the side, out of the central navigation channel, and use anchor lights at night.
