A Major Sort Out in
Pangkor
  Our major reason for visiting Pangkor
Marina (other than the fact that it is a Malaysian Rally stop) was to check out
the facilities and, if happy, book to haul Beez Neez here for our much
needed UK visit. As soon as we arrived in the marina there was a really good
feel. James and his staff are more than helpful and patiently answered all our
long list of questions. We were shown the slip and
saw many boats on the hard
– always a good sign.
  Marina
Island was purpose built and James had a major say in the design of the
marina.
   The Sea
Lift here was the first in East Asia, (we have been transported on one
but never lifted on one). All happy we have booked for our five free wet berth
days beginning on the 15th of February 2017, sounds a long way off but in real
terms is eleven and a bit weeks away. Beez Neez will be hauled on the 20th of
February and we have time to tuck her up for a very well earned rest before we
fly on March the 6th from Kuala Lumpur, a bus ride away –
apparently.
  The very important job on hand now
that our haul is all booked is to prepare the girl for Alex’s visit to Phuket in
just six and a bit weeks. Last out to Jolly Harbour in the Caribbean we are
really, really excited about exploring the islands including James Bond Island
and some slack time in Yacht Haven Marina, cannot wait. First for me was to pull
the spare sails and dive kit, suitcases and crap – I mean important captainly
‘stuff’ from the sea berth, bag it up, label and help Bear load it on the marina
trolley for him to take over to the storage hanger. Before and after – now a proper
larder.
  Al’s bedroom from a tip to a bed that just has the
sea toilet door, bedding and a few bits to send home.
  The sea toilet became the larder since Cairns and now has a
functional look about it. Although it took all day we
felt very pleased with ourselves, I’ll take you on a date night. Lovely. We had
heard there was a little cafe and that’s what we found. I had chicken popcorn,
naked and Bear had a chicken chop, naked with a juice each. All for five pounds,
cheap date methinks. After we had eaten we went to explore – on the other side
of the building to where we had settled was a pizza and pie place, a Chinese
fish restaurant and a beach bar................... Oh well, at least we know for
next time...............
ALL IN ALL A GREAT JOB
DONE
READY AND EXCITED FOR AL’S
ARRIVAL |
