Title: Penang

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

05:27.46N 100:18.1E
We have come 90nm north to the historic island of Penang and a new marina
just 10 minutes from the main town/city of Georgetown.
Penang once outshone both Singapore and Malacca as the key trading hub
between India and China but was eventually overshadowed by the more
successful Singapore.
WE are now just a short day sail away from Langkawi, our final destination
in Malaysia.
