A frustrating stop-start sail down the west coast of Tarutao followed by a fantastic 6-7knot sail across the channel to Langkawi when we were 'racing' a bigger Japanese yacht and winning!. Once in the lee of the island the winds turned flukey again.
 
We BOTH saw a very large, black swimming animal about half the length of the boat - so around 20 feet or so long - big. it had at least 2 fins up out of the water, but did not blow. my impression was definitely of something shark-like.....
