Pangkor Marina Launch Day – Part
Two    James came four o’clock as
high tide made our launch possible. Off we went, trundling slowly across the hard, a gentle three-point-turn
in front of a huge boat and backwards toward the water.   Across the road to our left a couple of ‘one careful
owners’, next step a big, sad
question.  Mid turn,
dirty knees thoroughly enjoying
himself.   Much concentration on James’ face and a massive, cheesy grin oozing from the skipper.
  Over
the water at last. Lowered, we could hear Beez delight as her feet got
wet for the first time since we lifted on the 25th February 2017...... Count to
eight with the ignition light on, turn and........ a gentle purr barely audible
above the noise of the Sea Lift. Water spitting out the back, James asked me to
engage reverse, he loosed us and back we went. A celebratory three-point-turn
and and U-turn and we were on the bunkering dock. The
lads shook Bear’s hand and cheekily smiled “Welcome to Pangkor Marina” before
falling into fits of giggles.  I nipped over to jetty one to take
this picture Beez not only on the Bunkering Dock but
afloat.  ALL IN ALL SHEER
JUBILATION
