On The Road Again!!

Current Position: In the Melacca Straits - North 01*27'602 East 103*15'248

We are very happy to report that after more than two months of sitting in Singapore having repairs done of the boat, we are today finally back out on anchor off a small island on the west coast of Malaysia. It was a strange feeling to back out on the open ocean getting used to the movement and sounds of the boat after being tied to a concrete dock for so long but I have to admit we're loving it!!

The plan now is to head up to Langkawi, a group of duty free Malaysian islands just before the border to Thailand, as quickly as possible and then review our time line on whether we can still head to the Red sea this year. Our friends in Phuket will be leaving tomorrow for Sri Lanka and the season is running late, we still have to stock up on food, water and fuel and replace some rigging... It really all depends as usual on the ever changing, unpredictable weather!! We should be in Langkawi in roughly one week as long as we can keep moving every day.
