We arrived in Miri on 1st September 2012, 219 nautical miles from Kuching and anchored just outside of town in 5m of water (N 04.24.323 E 113.58.50).
On this passage, we caught a Spanish Mackerel.

Miri is the second largest city in Sarawak, known for its gateway to many National Parks such as Gunung Mulu National Park, Loagan Bunut National Park, Lambir Hills National Park, Niah National Park and Miri-Sibuti Coral Reef National Park.
We took the opportunity to visit the Niah Caves, a limestone cave and archeological site within Niah National Park. This is one of the smaller National Parks in Sarawak. It's located about 84 kilometers south of Miri.
