We had an uneventful trip to Port Dickson, Malaysia. Did some sailing, mainly motoring with the occasional rain/thunder storm. We by passed Singapore this time.
We have been in Admiral Marina for a few days now. Nice and relaxing before the hard work that awaits us in Pangkor. We met up with a few sailor friends, checked into Malaysia with the various authorities and hired a car today to visit Malacca. Malacca is a historical town, very interesting and great food.
Tomorrow we'll set off for an overnight sail to Pangkor marina, where the plan is to haul out and leave the boat. Unfortunately, after having guaranteed us a berth they now say that they are full. So we'll have to see what they'll do with us when we arrive.
