48 hours of motorsailing took us to Danga Bay in Johor Bahru. We had some massive rainstorms with thunder and lightning, but apart from getting wet we got there in one piece. The tide was very low, but we managed to scrape in with 20 cm under the keel.
This is the place for the official start of the East Malaysia Rally. We had a wonderful dinner (with some speeches) and spectacular dance performances. We also stocked up with more food and cash, ready for some more sailing in remote places. Duncan checked us out of Malaysia and we filled up with fuel.
Tomorrow we go back into Raffles Marina, Singapore (having stopped for the night in Puteri Harbour to collect some mail), to meet the Kohler engineer to sort out the generator and to pick up our friends Ant and Hatty.
