Sunday 11th September 2016       Position approx. 001:54.7N 103:26.66E S of Malacca at 2400

Departed Port Dickson at 1140.

The sail around Cape Rachedo was very scenic. The wind was from astern (N-NNW) at 6kts, exactly the same as the boat speed, which meant that there was no air movement over the deck, making it very hot.

Motor-sailed all day, passing Malacca late afternoon on the port side – a very large city – and reaching the very scenic looking Water Islands by early evening. Rather than anchor there (original plan) we had decided to press on through the night given the success of the previous night passage.
